KVO VS isa : KVO 建立在 KVC 之上

Key-Value Observing (KVO) 建立在 KVC 之上，它通过重写 KVC 和监听 setter 方法，向外发送通知。

猜测：KVO 保留的原来的类引用，用于返回class值；

 

(lldb) po self.scrollView.class
UITableView

(lldb) po self.scrollView->isa
NSKVONotifying_UITableView

 

Automatic key-value observing is implemented using a technique called isa-swizzling. 

The isa pointer, as the name suggests, points to the object's class which maintains a dispatch table. This dispatch table essentially contains pointers to the methods the class implements, among other data. 

When an observer is registered for an attribute of an object the isa pointer of the observed object is modified, pointing to an intermediate class rather than at the true class. As a result the value of the isa pointer does not necessarily reflect the actual class of the instance. 

You should never rely on the isa pointer to determine class membership. Instead, you should use the class method to determine the class of an object instance.

 

- class
{
	return (id)isa; 
}
