[xmlvm-dev] CFData, CFDate, CFNumber etc.

[Panayotis K. <pan...@pa...>]

There are a bunch of C objects, like the ones mentioned in the title, which are (quote) “toll-free bridged” with its Cocoa Foundation counterpart (end quote).
C-type functions use this naming convention, while ObjC use the NS* naming.
Practically these are the same but this is not reflected at all in the *.h files.

Because of their dual nature, parsing is very hard and the strong typed nature of Java, will make things worse.
 
In order to address this issue, I think the easiest (and hopefully safe) method is to "rename" every mention to CF* object to NS* object.
What do you think?
