How to call an Objective-C Method from a C Method?

by

In order for that to work, you should define the C method like this:

void cMethod(id param);

and when you call it, call it like this:

cMethod(self);

then, you would be able to write:

[param objcMethod];

In your cMethod.

This is because the self variable is a special parameter passed to Objective-C methods automatically. Since C methods don’t enjoy this privilege, if you want to use self you have to send it yourself.

See more in the Method Implementation section of the programming guide.
