Abstract: |
Objective C 2.0 Compatible class_poseAs() replacement. This |
demonstrates how to replace a method in an existing Objective C class, |
and how to call the old version without having to store IMP function |
pointers in a global. The trick is to define a category on the class |
whose method you want to replace. In the category, declare and |
implement a method with the same signature as the replaced method. In |
the +load method of the category, look up the original and replacement |
methods using class_getInstanceMethod(), then call |
method_exchangeImplementations(). Subsequent calls to the original |
method will call the replacement method, and an apparently recursive |
call to the replacement method will call the original method. Voila. |
