properties - Objective-C property name mapping -

i wonder if there easy , fast way map property name adopted protocol property comes base class?

suppose example:

@protocol proto <nsobject>     @property (nonatomic, readonly, strong) nsstring *objectid; @end ... @interface mybase : nsobject     @property (nonatomic, readonly, strong) nsstring *objectid; @end ... @interface myclass : mybase<proto> @end 

in case guess don't need - property there getter , setter promise have them given when adopting protocol fulfilled. if property in mybase called objid , not objectid? there language tricks using dynamic, synthesize, getter= or other way make refer base class' property without manually defining getter/setter in myclass , returning/setting base class' property?

rationale: want cover third party library protocol layer used ui can change provider similar 1 under hood (or provide simulator testing). protocols define replicate api of library, property names include naming don't want in interfaces.

objective-c offer hooks such -(id)forwardingtargetforselector:(sel)aselector works ruby's method_missing. can use redirect objective-c messages other objects and/or selectors. if have consistent different naming pattern in properties e.g. *objectid -> objid, use that. caveat using of stuff risky - if can accomplish same thing few overrides, instead. code less fragile, if isn't quite clean
