在写 Objective-C
代码的时候,如果想给没法获得源码的类增加一些方法,Category
即分类是一种很好的方法,本文将带你了解分类是如何实现为类添加方法的。
先说结论,分类中的方法会在编译时变成 category_t
结构体的变量,在运行时合并进主类,分类中的方法会放在主类中方法的前面,主类中原有的方法不会被覆盖。同时,同名的分类方法,后编译的分类方法会“覆盖”先编译的分类方法。
编译时
在编译时,所有我们写的分类,都会转化为 category_t
结构体的变量,category_t
的源码如下:
struct category_t { const char *name; // 分类名 classref_t cls; // 主类 WrappedPtr<method_list_t, PtrauthStrip> instanceMethods; // 实例方法 WrappedPtr<method_list_t, PtrauthStrip> classMethods; // 类方法 struct protocol_list_t *protocols; // 协议 struct property_list_t *instanceProperties; // 属性 // Fields below this point are not always present on disk. struct property_list_t *_classProperties; // 类属性 method_list_t *methodsForMeta(bool isMeta) { if (isMeta) return classMethods; else return instanceMethods; } property_list_t *propertiesForMeta(bool isMeta, struct header_info *hi); protocol_list_t *protocolsForMeta(bool isMeta) { if (isMeta) return nullptr; else return protocols; } };
这个结构体主要是用来存储分类中可表现的信息,同时也从侧面说明了分类是不能创建实例变量的。
运行时
map_images_nolock
是运行时的开始,同时也决定了编译顺序对分类方法之间优先级的影响,后编译的分类方法会放在先编译的前面:
void map_images_nolock(unsigned mhCount, const char * const mhPaths[], const struct mach_header * const mhdrs[]) { ... { uint32_t i = mhCount; while (i--) { // 读取 header_info 的顺序,决定了后编译的分类方法会放在先编译的前面 const headerType *mhdr = (const headerType *)mhdrs[i]; auto hi = addHeader(mhdr, mhPaths[i], totalClasses, unoptimizedTotalClasses); ...
在运行时,加载分类的起始方法是 loadAllCategories
,可以看到,该方法从 FirstHeader
开始,遍历所有的 header_info
,并依次调用 load_categories_nolock
方法,实现如下:
static void loadAllCategories() { mutex_locker_t lock(runtimeLock); for (auto *hi = FirstHeader; hi != NULL; hi = hi->getNext()) { load_categories_nolock(hi); } }
在 load_categories_nolock
方法中,会判断类是不是 stubClass
切是否初始化完成,来决定分类到底附着在哪里,其实现如下:
static void load_categories_nolock(header_info *hi) { // 是否具有类属性 bool hasClassProperties = hi->info()->hasCategoryClassProperties(); size_t count; auto processCatlist = [&](category_t * const *catlist) { // 获取需要处理的分类列表 for (unsigned i = 0; i < count; i++) { category_t *cat = catlist[i]; Class cls = remapClass(cat->cls); // 获取分类对应的主类 locstamped_category_t lc{cat, hi}; if (!cls) { // 获取不到主类(可能因为弱链接),跳过本次循环 // Category's target class is missing (probably weak-linked). // Ignore the category. if (PrintConnecting) { _objc_inform("CLASS: IGNORING category \?\?\?(%s) %p with " "missing weak-linked target class", cat->name, cat); } continue; } // Process this category. if (cls->isStubClass()) { // 如果时 stubClass,当时无法确定元类对象是哪个,所以先附着在 stubClass 本身上 // Stub classes are never realized. Stub classes // don't know their metaclass until they're // initialized, so we have to add categories with // class methods or properties to the stub itself. // methodizeClass() will find them and add them to // the metaclass as appropriate. if (cat->instanceMethods || cat->protocols || cat->instanceProperties || cat->classMethods || cat->protocols || (hasClassProperties && cat->_classProperties)) { objc::unattachedCategories.addForClass(lc, cls); } } else { // First, register the category with its target class. // Then, rebuild the class's method lists (etc) if // the class is realized. if (cat->instanceMethods || cat->protocols || cat->instanceProperties) { if (cls->isRealized()) { // 表示类对象已经初始化完毕,会进入合并方法。 attachCategories(cls, &lc, 1, ATTACH_EXISTING); } else { objc::unattachedCategories.addForClass(lc, cls); } } if (cat->classMethods || cat->protocols || (hasClassProperties && cat->_classProperties)) { if (cls->ISA()->isRealized()) { // 表示元类对象已经初始化完毕,会进入合并方法。 attachCategories(cls->ISA(), &lc, 1, ATTACH_EXISTING | ATTACH_METACLASS); } else { objc::unattachedCategories.addForClass(lc, cls->ISA()); } } } } }; processCatlist(hi->catlist(&count)); processCatlist(hi->catlist2(&count)); }
合并分类的方法是通过 attachCategories
方法进行的,对方法、属性和协议分别进行附着。需要注意的是,在新版的运行时方法中不是将方法放到 rw
中,而是新创建了一个叫做 rwe
的属性,目的是为了节约内存,方法的实现如下:
// Attach method lists and properties and protocols from categories to a class. // Assumes the categories in cats are all loaded and sorted by load order, // oldest categories first. static void attachCategories(Class cls, const locstamped_category_t *cats_list, uint32_t cats_count, int flags) { if (slowpath(PrintReplacedMethods)) { printReplacements(cls, cats_list, cats_count); } if (slowpath(PrintConnecting)) { _objc_inform("CLASS: attaching %d categories to%s class '%s'%s", cats_count, (flags & ATTACH_EXISTING) ? " existing" : "", cls->nameForLogging(), (flags & ATTACH_METACLASS) ? " (meta)" : ""); } /* * Only a few classes have more than 64 categories during launch. * This uses a little stack, and avoids malloc. * * Categories must be added in the proper order, which is back * to front. To do that with the chunking, we iterate cats_list * from front to back, build up the local buffers backwards, * and call attachLists on the chunks. attachLists prepends the * lists, so the final result is in the expected order. */ constexpr uint32_t ATTACH_BUFSIZ = 64; method_list_t *mlists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ]; property_list_t *proplists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ]; protocol_list_t *protolists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ]; uint32_t mcount = 0; uint32_t propcount = 0; uint32_t protocount = 0; bool fromBundle = NO; bool isMeta = (flags & ATTACH_METACLASS); // 是否是元类对象 auto rwe = cls->data()->extAllocIfNeeded(); // 为 rwe 生成分配存储空间 for (uint32_t i = 0; i < cats_count; i++) { // 遍历分类列表 auto& entry = cats_list[i]; method_list_t *mlist = entry.cat->methodsForMeta(isMeta); // 获取实例方法或类方法列表 if (mlist) { if (mcount == ATTACH_BUFSIZ) { // 达到容器的容量上限时 prepareMethodLists(cls, mlists, mcount, NO, fromBundle, __func__); // 准备方法列表 rwe->methods.attachLists(mlists, mcount); // 附着方法到主类中 mcount = 0; } mlists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ - ++mcount] = mlist; // 将分类的方法列表放入准备好的容器中 fromBundle |= entry.hi->isBundle(); } property_list_t *proplist = entry.cat->propertiesForMeta(isMeta, entry.hi); // 获取对象属性或类属性列表 if (proplist) { if (propcount == ATTACH_BUFSIZ) { // 达到容器的容量上限时进行附着 rwe->properties.attachLists(proplists, propcount); // 附着属性到类或元类中 propcount = 0; } proplists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ - ++propcount] = proplist; } protocol_list_t *protolist = entry.cat->protocolsForMeta(isMeta); // 获取协议列表 if (protolist) { if (protocount == ATTACH_BUFSIZ) { // 达到容器的容量上限时进行附着 rwe->protocols.attachLists(protolists, protocount); // 附着遵守的协议到类或元类中 protocount = 0; } protolists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ - ++protocount] = protolist; } } // 将剩余的方法、属性和协议进行附着 if (mcount > 0) { prepareMethodLists(cls, mlists + ATTACH_BUFSIZ - mcount, mcount, NO, fromBundle, __func__); rwe->methods.attachLists(mlists + ATTACH_BUFSIZ - mcount, mcount); if (flags & ATTACH_EXISTING) { flushCaches(cls, __func__, [](Class c){ // constant caches have been dealt with in prepareMethodLists // if the class still is constant here, it's fine to keep return !c->cache.isConstantOptimizedCache(); }); } } rwe->properties.attachLists(proplists + ATTACH_BUFSIZ - propcount, propcount); rwe->protocols.attachLists(protolists + ATTACH_BUFSIZ - protocount, protocount); }
而真正进行方法附着的 attachLists
方法,其作用是将分类的方法放置到类对象或元类对象中,且放在类和元类对象原有方法的前面,这也是为什么分类和类中如果出现同名的方法,会优先调用分类的,也从侧面说明了,原有的类中的方法其实并没有被覆盖:
void attachLists(List* const * addedLists, uint32_t addedCount) { if (addedCount == 0) return; // 数量为 0 直接返回 if (hasArray()) { // many lists -> many lists uint32_t oldCount = array()->count; // 原有的方法列表的个数 uint32_t newCount = oldCount + addedCount; // 合并后的方法列表的个数 array_t *newArray = (array_t *)malloc(array_t::byteSize(newCount)); // 创建新的数组 newArray->count = newCount; array()->count = newCount; for (int i = oldCount - 1; i >= 0; i--) newArray->lists[i + addedCount] = array()->lists[i]; // 将原有的方法,放到新创建的数组的最后面 for (unsigned i = 0; i < addedCount; i++) newArray->lists[i] = addedLists[i]; // 将分类中的方法,放到数组的前面 free(array()); // 释放原有数组的内存空间 setArray(newArray); // 将合并后的数组作为新的方法数组 validate(); } else if (!list && addedCount == 1) { // 如果原本不存在方法列表,直接替换 // 0 lists -> 1 list list = addedLists[0]; validate(); } else { // 如果原来只有一个列表,变为多个,走这个逻辑 // 1 list -> many lists Ptr<List> oldList = list; uint32_t oldCount = oldList ? 1 : 0; uint32_t newCount = oldCount + addedCount; // 计算所有方法列表的个数 setArray((array_t *)malloc(array_t::byteSize(newCount))); // 分配新的内存空间并赋值 array()->count = newCount; if (oldList) array()->lists[addedCount] = oldList; // 将原有的方法,放到新创建的数组的最后面 for (unsigned i = 0; i < addedCount; i++) // 将分类中的方法,放到数组的前面 array()->lists[i] = addedLists[i]; validate(); } }
