/* This file includes declarations of the messaging functions and
types. */
/* Compatibility note: the messaging function is one area where the
GNU runtime and the Apple/NeXT runtime differ significantly. If
you can, it is recommended that you use higher-level facilities
(provided by a Foundation library such as GNUstep Base) to perform
forwarding or other advanced messaging tricks. */
/* This function returns the IMP (C function implementing a method) to
use to invoke the method with selector 'op' of receiver 'receiver'.
This is the function used by the compiler when compiling method
invocations with the GNU runtime. For example, the method call
result = [receiver method];
is compiled by the compiler (with the GNU runtime) into the
equivalent of:
{
IMP function = objc_msg_lookup (receiver, @selector (method));
result = function (receiver, @selector (method));
}
so, a call to objc_msg_lookup() determines the IMP (the C function
implementing the method) to call. Then, the function is called.
If the method takes or returns different arguments, the compiler
will cast 'function' to the right type before invoking it, making
sure arguments and return value are handled correctly.
objc_msg_lookup() must always return a valid function that can be
called with the required method signature (otherwise the
compiler-generated code shown above could segfault). If 'receiver'
is NULL, objc_msg_lookup() returns a C function that does nothing,
ignores all its arguments, and returns NULL (see nil_method.c). If
'receiver' does not respond to the selector 'op', objc_msg_lookup()
will try to call +resolveClassMethod: or resolveInstanceMethod: as
appropriate, and if they return YES, it will try the lookup again
(+resolveClassMethod: and +resolveInstanceMethod: can thus install
dynamically methods as they are requested). If
+resolveClassMethod: or +resolveInstanceMethod: are either not
available, or return NO, or return YES but 'receiver' still doesn't
implement the 'selector' after calling them, the runtime returns a
generic "forwarding" function that can be called with the required
method signature and which can process the method invocation
according to the forwarding API. There are two runtime hooks that
allow Foundation libraries (such as GNUstep-Base) to return their
own forwarding function in preference to the runtime ones. When
that happens, the Foundation library effectively takes complete
control of the forwarding process; any method invocation where the
selector is not implemented by the receiver will end up calling a
forwarding function chosen by the Foundation library. */
objc_EXPORT IMP objc_msg_lookup (id receiver, SEL op);
/* Structure used when a message is send to a class's super class.
The compiler generates one of these structures and passes it to
objc_msg_lookup_super() when a [super method] call is compiled. */
/* In the traditional API, the super class field is called 'class' in
Objective-C and 'super_class' in Objective-C++. In the new API
(objc/runtime.h) it is always called 'super_class'. We detect the
"traditional API" by the fact that the objc/objc-api.h header
include guards are defined, which means objc/objc-api.h has been
included. This works because objc/message.h does not exist in the
Traditional API and is only read because objc-api.h itself includes
it. */
