<h4 class="subsection">8.3.2 <code>@encode</code></h4>
<p>GNU Objective-C supports the <code>@encode</code> syntax that allows you to
create a type encoding from a C/Objective-C type. For example,
<code>@encode(int)</code> is compiled by the compiler into <code>&quot;i&quot;</code>.
</p>
<p><code>@encode</code> does not support type qualifiers other than
<code>const</code>. For example, <code>@encode(const char*)</code> is valid and
is compiled into <code>&quot;r*&quot;</code>, while <code>@encode(bycopy char *)</code> is
invalid and will cause a compilation error.
