Don't know if objective C has it, (or wait you're
using C right?) but you might also make them static
local variables. ie:  
void getMyIvar( void )
{ static int ivar1, ivar2;
//redeclare others
 int x,y,z;
 ...
}  
then initialize them at the global scope, outside the
function. ie:
ivar1 = 10;
ivar2 = 12;
void getMyIvar ( void ) ... etc.

Now these variables will hold their value between
calls to the function.  If I understand your question
this is another solution, I don't know which is
better. Hope this helps.
