Problems with Objective-C++?

Do yourself a favor and enjoy life without namespaces and templates. Objective-C++ is for connecting Objective-C with C++ code and nothing else. Objective-C classes don't use namespaces. And they don't use templates.

 

I miss namespaces as well. I hope that at some point they're added as an optional extension to Obj C. In the meanwhile you can use smurf naming to avoid problems... I.e.

smurfPartsTableViewController
smurfTextHelpingClass

If you aren't familiar with the smurfs.... Basically prefix every class name.

If you're working with something that can be done dramatically faster with templates then do just that part with a template method or a template function (remember that not all things need to be done with objects).

 

What a smurftastic solution!

 

There's more to it than smurfing:

This guy has a lot of insight into writing Objective-C code better than you may be doing it now.

Instead of trying to force Objective-C to be like [some other language] just try to write Objective-C code the Objective-C way, or the Objective-C 2.0 way.
