Does Objective-C support marking properties/methods with attributes? like so:

#MyAttribute //sudo example
@porperty (nonatomic, retain) NSString * myString;

I would then like to “reflect” over the class and determine what attribute is attached to the property “myString”.

Is something like this possible?

Thanks

    No, there are no attributes in Objective-C. You do get a form of reflection, you can test an instance to see if it exists in the instance, but that is all you get.
