Declare a block method parameter without using a typedef

Question

Is it possible to specify a method block parameter in Objective-C without using a typedef? It must be, like function pointers, but I can\'t hit on the winning syntax witho

Answer 1

Another example (this issue benefits from multiple):

@implementation CallbackAsyncClass {
void (^_loginCallback) (NSDictionary *response);
}
// …


- (void)loginWithCallback:(void (^) (NSDictionary *response))handler {
    // Do something async / call URL
    _loginCallback = Block_copy(handler);
    // response will come to the following method (how is left to the reader) …
}

- (void)parseLoginResponse {
    // Receive and parse response, then make callback

   _loginCallback(response);
   Block_release(_loginCallback);
   _loginCallback = nil;
}


// this is how we make the call:
[instanceOfCallbackAsyncClass loginWithCallback:^(NSDictionary *response) {
   // respond to result
}];
