I am confused.
Perhaps, but not nearly so much as your developer friend.
I was discussing with a developer about my desire to translate our C++
code (really simple and few methods and classes) to Objective-C, for a
Cocoa/Cocoa Touch software.
His answer has been: « I do not understand the reason, considering
that,
after our translation to Objective-C, the Cocoa layer will perform
another translation to C++. »
His answer is quite incorrect. Objective-C objects and C++ objects
accomplish some of the same things, but they are different, work
differently, and are not interchangeable. Objective-C and C++ are both
supersets of C, and it's possible to use Objective-C and C++ together,
even in the same source files, but that's about as far as it goes.
Is it true? Cocoa (and/or Cocoa Touch) layer translates Objective-C
objects to C++?
No.
