Cannot declare variable inside @interface or @protocol : How to deal with

A while ago, I developed an app with GCC compiler, now I upgrade to use Apple LLVM compiler 4.2, and getting many errors of kind : Cannot declare variable inside @interface or @protocol

Here is an example:

@interface HomeController(PRIVATE)
NSMutableArray *array;
@end

I know I cannot declare ivars in Categories, but if I change them to properties, it will not make sense, since some ivars are referencing extern classes.

How you usually deal with these kind of issues? Thanx in advance.

you can do this like that:

@interface HomeController (){
NSMutableArray *array;
}

then these variables are private...

If you want it to be "private" what I usually do is usually create an unnamed category and declare the ivars in there like this:

@interface MyClass()
{
    NSArray *myArray;
}
@end

I'm not sure if its the named part of your category, or that you are missing the braces thats the problem, but this works for me
