Reset to default

@property (nonatomic, assign) int *array;
...
// somewhere in your code 
    int *gg = malloc(10 * sizeof(int));
    gg[1] = 1;
    gg[0] = 2;
    self.array = gg;

UPDATE:

This is heap based array now to make sure it will not be deallocated.
But don't forget to free it in dealloc free(self.array)

exactly what i was trying to achieve. the cleanest answer from all in other similar questions
great :)@NicolasManzini
You can't do this. When you leave the scope where gg was declared your array property will contain pointer to a deallocated part of memory. Best case scenario you will get trash instead of values you want. In case of int *array array must be allocated on heap using malloc or new.
the funny thing is I was reading about this heap/stack problem right now! :) i can fill it with 0s by doing gg[] = {0} ?
yep :) thanks to @creker for reminding :)
