| |
| <p>GNU Objective-C supports the <code>@encode</code> syntax that allows you to |
| create a type encoding from a C/Objective-C type. For example, |
| <code>@encode(int)</code> is compiled by the compiler into <code>"i"</code>. |
| |
| <p><code>@encode</code> does not support type qualifiers other than |
| <code>const</code>. For example, <code>@encode(const char*)</code> is valid and |
| is compiled into <code>"r*"</code>, while <code>@encode(bycopy char *)</code> is |
| invalid and will cause a compilation error. |
