[Openmcl-devel] What's the minimal way to start using the ObjectiveC bridge?

[Paul Krueger]

Did you mean "setObject:forKey:" ?  There is no standard addObject:forKey: objective-C method. You also need to understand the correct syntax for calling obj-c methods in CCL:

? (defun lisp-to-temp-nsstring (string)
  ;; creates a string that is not owned by caller
  ;; so no release is necessary
  (with-encoded-cstrs :utf-8 ((s string))
    (#/stringWithUTF8String: ns:ns-string s)))
LISP-TO-TEMP-NSSTRING
? (setf key (lisp-to-temp-nsstring "key string"))
#<NS-MUTABLE-STRING "key string" (#x117690)>
? (setf obj (make-instance ns:ns-object))
#<NS-OBJECT [uninitialized] (#x21074380)>
? (setf dict (make-instance ns:ns-mutable-dictionary))
#<NS-MUTABLE-DICTIONARY {
} (#x121D60)>
? (#/setObject:forKey: dict obj key)
NIL
? (describe dict)
#<NS-MUTABLE-DICTIONARY {
    "key string" = "<NSObject: 0x21074380>";
} (#x121D60)>
Class: #<OBJC:OBJC-CLASS NS:NS-MUTABLE-DICTIONARY (#x7FFF7AF09618)>
Wrapper: #<CCL::CLASS-WRAPPER NS:NS-MUTABLE-DICTIONARY #x302000C665CD>
Instance slots
NS:ISA: #<NS-OBJECT __NSDictionaryM (#x7FFF7AF09578)>
? (#/objectForKey: dict key)
#<NS-OBJECT [uninitialized] (#x21074380)>
? (eql obj *)
T
? 

You could use standard #/allocate and #/init calls instead of make-instance calls. This just demonstrates how obj-c has been integrated into CLOS.
