What’s the best way to put a c-struct in an NSArray?

by

NSValue doesn’t only support CoreGraphics structures – you can use it for your own too. I would recommend doing so, as the class is probably lighter weight than NSData for simple data structures.

Simply use an expression like the following:

[NSValue valueWithBytes:&p objCType:@encode(Megapoint)];

And to get the value back out:

Megapoint p;
[value getValue:&p];
