Storing integer into NSValue

gistfile1.txt

int theInt = 123;

// storing value
NSValue* valObj;
valObj = [NSValue value:&myVal withObjCType:@encode(int*)];

// retrieving value
[valObj getValue:&valPtr];

I came here because I needed to return an NSValue containing an NSUInteger within OCMock (to stub a method that returns an NSUInteger).

OCMock wants me to specify @encode(NSUInteger) not @encode(NSUInteger *) so perhaps that is the "correct" way to do it? I dunno.

NSUInteger count = 3;
NSValue *countValue = [NSValue value:&count withObjCType:@encode(NSUInteger)];
