runtime源码探究（三）属性关联

objc_setAssociatedObject

属性关联可以在运行时动态的给某个对象添加属性，来看objc_setAssociatedObject的实现：

void objc_setAssociatedObject(id object, const void *key, id value, objc_AssociationPolicy policy) {
    _object_set_associative_reference(object, (void *)key, value, policy);
}

_object_set_associative_reference函数首先初始化了一个ObjcAssociation对象

 ObjcAssociation old_association(0, nil)

old_association用来存储关联的值和关联策略，默认是OBJC_ASSOCIATION_ASSIGN。接下来如果发现传入的value不为空，那么就对传入的value进retain或者copy操作（如果关联策略是OBJC_ASSOCIATION_SETTER_RETAIN或者OBJC_ASSOCIATION_SETTER_COPY）

id new_value = value ? acquireValue(value, policy) : nil;
//acquireValue函数的实现
static id acquireValue(id value, uintptr_t policy) {
    switch (policy & 0xFF) {
    case OBJC_ASSOCIATION_SETTER_RETAIN:
        return ((id(*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)(value, SEL_retain);
    case OBJC_ASSOCIATION_SETTER_COPY:
        return ((id(*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)(value, SEL_copy);
    }
    return value;
}

接下来初始化AssociationsManager，AssociationsManager里面主要是存在一个hash map，结构如下：

class AssociationsManager {
