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

In my experience its easier to convert the pointer's address to an NSInteger, like this:

MyObject *object=[[MyObject alloc]init];
//...
NSInteger adress=(NSInteger)object;

Now reverse:

MyObject *otherObject=(MyObject*)adress;

Now: object==otherObject
