最新 Objective-C +load方法 加载顺序

所用源码: https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/objc4/objc4-781.tar.gz

先调用类的+load 在调用分类的

/***********************************************************************
* call_load_methods
* Call all pending class and category +load methods.
* Class +load methods are called superclass-first. 
* Category +load methods are not called until after the parent class's +load.
* 
* This method must be RE-ENTRANT, because a +load could trigger 
* more image mapping. In addition, the superclass-first ordering 
* must be preserved in the face of re-entrant calls. Therefore, 
* only the OUTERMOST call of this function will do anything, and 
* that call will handle all loadable classes, even those generated 
* while it was running.
*
* The sequence below preserves +load ordering in the face of 
* image loading during a +load, and make sure that no 
* +load method is forgotten because it was added during 
* a +load call.
* Sequence:
* 1. Repeatedly call class +loads until there aren't any more
* 2. Call category +loads ONCE.
* 3. Run more +loads if:
*    (a) there are more classes to load, OR
*    (b) there are some potential category +loads that have 
*        still never been attempted.
* Category +loads are only run once to ensure "parent class first" 
* ordering, even if a category +load triggers a new loadable class 
* and a new loadable category attached to that class. 
*
* Locking: loadMethodLock must be held by the caller 
*   All other locks must not be held.
**********************************************************************/
void call_load_methods(void)
{
    static bool loading = NO;
    bool more_categories;

    loadMethodLock.assertLocked();

    // Re-entrant calls do nothing; the outermost call will finish the job.
    if (loading) return;
    loading = YES;

    void *pool = objc_autoreleasePoolPush();

    do {
        // 1. Repeatedly call class +loads until there aren't any more
	// 先调用类的load方法
        while (loadable_classes_used > 0) {
            call_class_loads();
        }

        // 2. Call category +loads ONCE
        // 再调用分类的load方法
        more_categories = call_category_loads();

        // 3. Run more +loads if there are classes OR more untried categories
    } while (loadable_classes_used > 0  ||  more_categories);

    objc_autoreleasePoolPop(pool);

    loading = NO;
}

调用子类的+load之前先调用父类的+load

/***********************************************************************
* prepare_load_methods
* Schedule +load for classes in this image, any un-+load-ed 
* superclasses in other images, and any categories in this image.
**********************************************************************/
// Recursively schedule +load for cls and any un-+load-ed superclasses.
// cls must already be connected.
static void schedule_class_load(Class cls)
{
    if (!cls) return;
    ASSERT(cls->isRealized());  // _read_images should realize

    if (cls->data()->flags & RW_LOADED) return;

    // Ensure superclass-first ordering
	// 这是个递归函数 优先调用父类
    schedule_class_load(cls->superclass);

    add_class_to_loadable_list(cls);
    cls->setInfo(RW_LOADED); 
}

如果有不同的类和分类 按照编译顺序调用(先编译,先调用)

void prepare_load_methods(const headerType *mhdr)
{
    size_t count, i;

    runtimeLock.assertLocked();
	
    // 类编译顺序 _getObjc2NonlazyClassList
    classref_t const *classlist = 
        _getObjc2NonlazyClassList(mhdr, &count);
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        schedule_class_load(remapClass(classlist[i]));
    }
    // 分类编译顺序 _getObjc2NonlazyCategoryList
    category_t * const *categorylist = _getObjc2NonlazyCategoryList(mhdr, &count);
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        category_t *cat = categorylist[i];
        Class cls = remapClass(cat->cls);
        if (!cls) continue;  // category for ignored weak-linked class
        if (cls->isSwiftStable()) {
            _objc_fatal("Swift class extensions and categories on Swift "
                        "classes are not allowed to have +load methods");
        }
        realizeClassWithoutSwift(cls, nil);
        ASSERT(cls->ISA()->isRealized());
        add_category_to_loadable_list(cat);
    }
}

+load 是通过函数指针load_method_t直接调用

/***********************************************************************
* call_class_loads
* Call all pending class +load methods.
* If new classes become loadable, +load is NOT called for them.
*
* Called only by call_load_methods().
**********************************************************************/
static void call_class_loads(void)
{
    int i;
    
    // Detach current loadable list.
    struct loadable_class *classes = loadable_classes;
    int used = loadable_classes_used;
    loadable_classes = nil;
    loadable_classes_allocated = 0;
    loadable_classes_used = 0;
    
    // Call all +loads for the detached list.
    for (i = 0; i < used; i++) {
        Class cls = classes[i].cls;
        // 通过函数指针load_method_t 直接调用method
        load_method_t load_method = (load_method_t)classes[i].method;
        if (!cls) continue; 

        if (PrintLoading) {
            _objc_inform("LOAD: +[%s load]\n", cls->nameForLogging());
        }
        (*load_method)(cls, @selector(load));
    }
    
    // Destroy the detached list.
    if (classes) free(classes);
}
typedef void(*load_method_t)(id, SEL);
struct loadable_class {
    Class cls;  // may be nil
    IMP method; +load
};
