ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for mixing Objective-C and C++ objects includes the step of defining a common object as an Objective-C object class data structure. In addition, the common object is specified as a C++ object class data structure. Thus, the C++ object class data structure is equivalent in memory layout to the Objective-C object class data structure. A set of behavioral operations to be performed in relation to the common object are then established in either Objective-C or C++ source code. A selected behavioral operation is subsequently performed in relation to the common object in response to mixed Objective-C and C++ source code instructions.
