Identical names for methods and properties
cocoa, objective-c, properties
Solution
It could be a little confusing.
The property generates 2 instance methods for you:
- (NSCursor *)rotateCursor;
- (void)setRotateCursor:(NSCursor *)rotateCursor;
And you also have a class method:
+ (NSCursor *)rotateCursor;
It isn't clear from a user point of view what the class method does. Documentation would help.
Problem
The following code compiles just fine - but are there any issues with it? I couldn't find any guidelines for Objective-C that would discourage us from using the same identifier for both, properties and method names: ``` @interface MouseCursorHelper : NSObject @property (nonatomic, readwrite, retain) NSCursor* rotateCursor; + (NSCursor*) rotateCursor; @end ``` FWIW, the class is implemented as a singleton modeled after `NSCursor` to offer app specific cursors.
