Referencing a static NSString * const from another class

Question

In class A I have this:

static NSString * const kMyConstant = @\"my constant string\";

How can I reference this from class B?

Answer 1

If it's static, you can't (that's what the static keyword is for).

If you simply declare it as a global variable, however, you can do something like this:

// ClassA.m

NSString *const str = @"Foo";

// ClassB.m

extern NSString *const str;

NSLog(@"str is: %@", str);
