iOS — get pointer from NSString containing address

Question

If I have a pointer to an object foo with address (say) 0x809b5c0, I can turn that into an NSString by calling

NSString* fooString = [NSString stringWithForm         


        

Answer 1

This snippet worked for me:

NSString *pointerString = @"0x809b5c0";
NSObject *object;
sscanf([pointerString cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], "%p", &object);
