In Swift, does resetting the property inside didSet trigger another didSet?

Question

I\'m testing this and it appears that if you change the value within didSet, you do not get another call to didSet.

var x: Int = 0         


        

Answer 1

It'll work just fine, but it seems pretty like a pretty bad idea from the standpoint of a consumer of your API.

It doesn't recurse, the way I suspected it might, so that's good at least.

I can think of few cases in which it would be acceptable for a setter to change what i'm setting. One such example might be a variable that's set to an angle, which is automatically normalized to be [0, 2π].
