uikit——UIView——layout

layout

// Allows you to perform layout before the drawing cycle happens. -layoutIfNeeded forces layout early
- (void)setNeedsLayout;
- (void)layoutIfNeeded;

- (void)layoutSubviews;    // override point. called by layoutIfNeeded automatically. As of iOS 6.0, when constraints-based layout is used the base implementation applies the constraints-based layout, otherwise it does nothing.

解释：

• layoutSubviews：ios5.1及以前什么都不做，之后版本应用UIView所有constraint，无需开发者直接调用，只有autoresizing和constraint-based不能满足layout要求才override，首次调用在viewWillAppear和viewDidAppear之间，layout view hierarchy
• setNeedsLayout：invalidate当前layout，layout update during the next update circle，如果没有必要layout，不会layout，但receiver必然layout
• layoutIfNeeded：layout immediately，如果没有必要layout，不会layout，包括receiver
