I have a data structure as follows:

typedef struct myData {
UInt32 a;
UInt32 b;
UInt32 c;
} myData;

typedef struct _myobj {
t_object ob;
void *obex;
void *out;
myData *data;
} t_myobj;

Now I want to create attributes to get and set a, b and c.

So, clearly, all three will have a custom set and get method, however I am confused, because obviously the typical way of doing it in this case doesn’t work:

attr = attr_offset_new(“a”, _sym_long, attrflags, (method)myobj_a_get, (method)myobj_a_set, calcoffset(t_continuum, a));
class_addattr(c, attr);

So, what’s the correct form to declare the attributes in this case ?

Thanks.

Just give an offset of zero. This is ignored if you have both custom
getter and setter–i.e.

attr = attr_offset_new(“a”, _sym_long, attrflags, (method)
myobj_a_get, (method)myobj_a_set, 0);

Alternately, you could avoid allocating your “myData” struct and
simply embed in your object, which would permit default accessors– i.e.

typedef struct _myobj {
t_object ob;
void *obex;
void *out;
myData data; // embed, not a pointer
} t_myobj;

// notice the data.a notation to use embedded structs.
attr = attr_offset_new(“a”, _sym_long, attrflags, (method)NULL,
(method)NULL, calcoffset(t_myobj, data.a));
