Introduction

The Objective-C language defers as many decisions as it can from compile time and link time to runtime. Whenever possible, it does things dynamically. This means that the language requires not just a compiler, but also a runtime system to execute the compiled code. The runtime system acts as a kind of operating system for the Objective-C language; it’s what makes the language work.

This document looks at the NSObject class and how Objective-C programs interact with the runtime system. In particular, it examines the paradigms for dynamically loading new classes at runtime, and forwarding messages to other objects. It also provides information about how you can find information about objects while your program is running.

You should read this document to gain an understanding of how the Objective-C runtime system works and how you can take advantage of it. Typically, though, there should be little reason for you to need to know and understand this material to write a Cocoa application.

runtime介绍

objective - c语言尽可能把编译和链接的决定推迟到运行时处理。只要有可能,它就会动态地处理一些事情。这意味着objective - c语言需要的不仅仅是一个编译器,也需要一个运行时系统来执行编译后的代码。运行时系统作为objective - c语言的一种操作系统,这就是使objective - c语言动态的去工作。

本文着眼于NSObject类和objective - c程序如何与运行时系统交互。特别是,它检查在运行时动态加载新类的范例,并将消息转发给其他对象。它还提供了关于当您的程序正在运行时,如何找到信息对象的信息.

你应该阅读本文档了解objective - c运行时系统是如何工作的,以及如何利用它。一般来说,你应该没有理由需要知道和理解这种材料编写应用程序即可。

Your programs can use these interfaces to interact with the Objective-C runtime system. For example, you can add classes or methods, or obtain a list of all class definitions for loaded classes.
