I'm trying to implement a very simple strategy class in Objective-C that allows for strategies to be defined inline instead of being defined through inheritance. Currently my code looks like this:
@interface SSTaskStrategy : NSObject {
(NSArray *)(^strategy)(void);
}
@end
I thought this would work, but I'm getting the error
Expected specifier-qualifier-list before '(' token
Any ideas how to make this work?
You should drop the parentheses around NSArray *
in your ivar definition:
@interface SSTaskStrategy : NSObject {
NSArray * (^strategy)(void);
}
@end
Also, I highly recommend that you use a typedef
for more clarity:
typedef NSArray * (^Strategy)(void);
@interface SSTaskStrategy : NSObject {
Strategy block;
}
@end
This allows you to reference this block with the name Strategy
instead of having to use the funky syntax every single time you wish to reference it.
@interface SSTaskStrategy : NSObject {
NSArray* (^strategy)(void);
}
You don't need to put the (
)
around the return type.
