Yes, but so does &myArray[0] in the original code. According to your hypothesis, it’s copied into a temporary, which also becomes invalid as soon as the current scope ends. (I didn’t check the docs to see if the void* parameter to addToolTipRect needs a longer lifetime. If it does, then there’s manual memory management to do, regardless of what approach is taken. That’s why there ought to be a better API.) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
