>>> In the example I listed below, I have a __block variable inside a block that >>> is fixed length array and I can access it via NSLog(@"char %c", array1[0]);
Sure, but I'm talking about a __block variable declared outside the block: int arr[1]; ^(){ arr[0];}; // compile error __block int arr[1]; ^(){ arr[0]; }; // compile error! I think b.bum has explained this thoroughly; the workaround is: struct {int arr[1];} str; ^(){ str.arr[0];}; And now it can be made writable with __block as expected: __block struct {int arr[1];} str; ^(){ str.arr[0]=1;}; I would suggest the docs be a bit more forthcoming about this, unless it's documented and I just didn't spot it.
