iOS 类拓展的加载

什么是类拓展呢？

类拓展就是一个匿名的分类。

• 类拓展

@interface LGPerson ()
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *ext_name;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *ext_subject;
- (void)extH_method;
@end

• 分类

@interface NSObject (KC)

@end

类拓展的作用

给当前的类增加属性和方法。

类拓展何时加载到主类

我们继续来到_read_images中来一探究竟。

我们在_read_images的这个地方做一个小的处理并且打上断点查看ro中是否存在我们需要的数据。

(lldb) p ro
(const class_ro_t *) $0 = 0x0000000100002360
(lldb) p *$0
(const class_ro_t) $1 = {
  flags = 388

}
(lldb) p $1.baseMethodList

}
(lldb) p $3.get(3)
(method_t) $7 = {

}
(lldb) p $3.get(6)
(method_t) $10 = {

(lldb) p $3.get(7)
(method_t) $11 = {

  types = 0x0000000100001f8c "@16@0:8"
  imp = 0x0000000100001bd0 (objc-debug`-[LGPerson ext_name] at LGPerson+LGExtension.h:14)

(lldb) p $3.get(9)

}
(lldb) p $3.get(10)
(method_t) $14 = {
  name = "setExt_subject:"
  types = 0x0000000100001f94 "v24@0:8@16"
  imp = 0x0000000100001c70 (objc-debug`-[LGPerson setExt_subject:] at LGPerson+LGExtension.h:15)
}

通过上面的lldb调试我们可以看到，类拓展在我们的类被加载之前就已经拥有了这些数据。那么据推测就只有一个地方可以实现，那就是编译阶段。

如果我们的类拓展被建立成单独的.h文件并且没有被引用的话，那么这个文件的中的数据是不会被编译进来的。
