Why not just create NSString wrappers? By using the -initWithBytesNoCopy:length:encoding:freeWhenDone: method you can avoid it copying the actual C string characters, it literally just becomes a thin wrapper. K.I.S.S.! If you can prove this approach is a problem by actual profiling, then OK, then you can talk about a more complex solution. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
