copied!<p>The idea would just be to add a pointer to an array of AEMesh structures to your class, and then maintain the array as necessary. Following is a little (untested) code that uses malloc() to create such an array and realloc() to resize it. I'm growing the array 10 meshes at a time:</p> <pre><code>@interface MyClass : NSObject { int meshCount; AEMesh *meshes; } @end @implementation MyClass -(id)init { if ((self = [super init])) { meshCount = 0; meshes = malloc(sizeof(AEMesh)*10); } return self; } -(void)addMesh:(AEMesh)mesh { if (meshCount % 10 = 0) { meshCount = realloc(sizeof(AEMesh) * (meshCount + 10)); } if (meshCount != nil) { meshes[meshCount] = mesh; meshCount++; } } @end </code></pre> <p>It might be worthwhile to factor the array management into it's own Objective-C class, much as Brian Coleman's answer uses std::vector to manage the meshes. That way, you could use it for C arrays of any type, not just AEMesh.</p> <blockquote> <p>From the information Ive gathered, using malloc might work, but this isn't creating a standard c-array I can pass in to OpenGL ES, instead its more of a pseudo-c-array that works like a c-array?</p> </blockquote> <p>A C array is nothing more than a series of objects ("objects" used here in the C sense of contiguous memory, not the OO sense) in memory. You can create one by declaring it on the stack:</p> <pre><code>int foo[10]; // array of 10 ints </code></pre> <p>or dynamically on the heap:</p> <pre><code>int foo[] = malloc(sizeof(int)*10); // array of 10 ints, not on the stack int *bar = malloc(sizeof(int)*10); // another way to write the same thing </code></pre> <p>Don't forget to use free() to deallocate any blocks of memory you've created with malloc(), realloc(), calloc(), etc. when you're done with them.</p>
