This gets rid of runtime selector initialization. How it works is pretty straightforward:
Instead of calling
objc_msgSend
, we callobjc_msgSend$SELECTOR
, whereSELECTOR
is the selector we want to call. Two examples:"description"
selector on an object, we callobjc_msgSend$description
."setObject:forKey:"
selector on an object, we callobjc_msgSend$setObject:forKey:
.The linker then automatically patches these up to the correct selector. The value of the second argument to
objc_msgSend
(the selector) doesn't matter so this just passesundefined
.
