一、基本使用

• 1、RevanPerson类

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject
- (void)test;
@end
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson
- (void)test {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson -test");
}
@end

• 2、RevanPerson+RevanRun

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanPerson (RevanRun)
- (void)run;
@end

#import "RevanPerson+RevanRun.h"

@implementation RevanPerson (RevanRun)
- (void)run {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanRun) -run");
}
@end

• 3、RevanPerson+RevanSleep

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanPerson (RevanSleep)
- (void)sleep;
@end
#import "RevanPerson+RevanSleep.h"

@implementation RevanPerson (RevanSleep)
- (void)sleep {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanSleep) -sleep");
}
@end

• 测试代码

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "RevanPerson.h"
#import "RevanPerson+RevanRun.h"
#import "RevanPerson+RevanSleep.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    RevanPerson *person = [[RevanPerson alloc] init];
    
    [person test];
    [person run];
    [person sleep];
    
}
@end
打印输出：
2018-07-01 22:55:34.571809+0800 01-Category[7688:454393] RevanPerson -test
2018-07-01 22:55:34.572009+0800 01-Category[7688:454393] RevanPerson (RevanRun) -run
2018-07-01 22:55:34.572131+0800 01-Category[7688:454393] RevanPerson (RevanSleep) -sleep

• 常用Category给类添加方法

二、Category的底层结构类型

xcrun  -sdk  iphoneos  clang  -arch  arm64  -rewrite-objc 
RevanPerson+RevanRun.m -o RevanPerson+RevanRun.cpp

• Category结构类型，是struct _category_t 结构体类型

struct _category_t {
    const char *name;//类名
    struct _class_t *cls;//类
    const struct _method_list_t *instance_methods;//实例对象方法列表 
    const struct _method_list_t *class_methods;//实例对象方法列表
    const struct _protocol_list_t *protocols;//协议列表
    const struct _prop_list_t *properties;//属性列表
};

• 为了看到更加详细的各个参数的情况，给分类再添加一些属性、代理、协议

#import "RevanPerson.h"
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@protocol RevanPerson_RevanRunDelegate

- (void)RevanPerson_RevanRunDelegate_tableData;
- (void)RevanPerson_RevanRunDelegate_tableDelegate;

@end

@interface RevanPerson (RevanRun)<UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
@property (nonatomic, weak) id<RevanPerson_RevanRunDelegate> delegate;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat speed;

- (void)run;
@end

#import "RevanPerson+RevanRun.h"

@implementation RevanPerson (RevanRun)
- (void)run {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanRun) -run");
}
@end

• 1、查看RevanPerson+RevanRun源码

_OBJC_$_CATEGORY_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun的赋值情况
static struct _category_t _OBJC_$_CATEGORY_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun __attribute__ ((used, section ("__DATA,__objc_const"))) = 
{
    "RevanPerson",
    0, // &OBJC_CLASS_$_RevanPerson,
    (const struct _method_list_t *)&_OBJC_$_CATEGORY_INSTANCE_METHODS_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun,
    0,
    (const struct _protocol_list_t *)&_OBJC_CATEGORY_PROTOCOLS_$_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun,
    (const struct _prop_list_t *)&_OBJC_$_PROP_LIST_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun,
};

• 2、对象方法列表

_OBJC_$_CATEGORY_INSTANCE_METHODS_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun是一个结构体：类型如下
static struct /*_method_list_t*/ {
    unsigned int entsize;  // sizeof(struct _objc_method)
    unsigned int method_count;
    struct _objc_method method_list[1];
}

在对象方法列表(一个数组)：发现有run方法
static struct /*_method_list_t*/ {
    unsigned int entsize;  // sizeof(struct _objc_method)
    unsigned int method_count;
    struct _objc_method method_list[1];
} _OBJC_$_CATEGORY_INSTANCE_METHODS_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun __attribute__ ((used, section ("__DATA,__objc_const"))) = {
    sizeof(_objc_method),
    1,
    {{(struct objc_selector *)"run", "v16@0:8", (void *)_I_RevanPerson_RevanRun_run}}
};

• 3、协议列表

_OBJC_CATEGORY_PROTOCOLS_$_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun是一个结构体类型，结构如下：
static struct /*_protocol_list_t*/ {
    long protocol_count;  // Note, this is 32/64 bit
    struct _protocol_t *super_protocols[2];
}

在给协议列表_OBJC_CATEGORY_PROTOCOLS_$_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun赋值中可以看到遵守的2个协议
static struct /*_protocol_list_t*/ {
    long protocol_count;  // Note, this is 32/64 bit
    struct _protocol_t *super_protocols[2];
} _OBJC_CATEGORY_PROTOCOLS_$_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun __attribute__ ((used, section ("__DATA,__objc_const"))) = {
    2,
    &_OBJC_PROTOCOL_UITableViewDataSource,
    &_OBJC_PROTOCOL_UITableViewDelegate
};

• 4、属性列表

_OBJC_$_PROP_LIST_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun是一个结构体类型，结构体如下：
static struct /*_prop_list_t*/ {
    unsigned int entsize;  // sizeof(struct _prop_t)
    unsigned int count_of_properties;
    struct _prop_t prop_list[2];
}

当前Category有的属性
static struct /*_prop_list_t*/ {
    unsigned int entsize;  // sizeof(struct _prop_t)
    unsigned int count_of_properties;
    struct _prop_t prop_list[2];
} _OBJC_$_PROP_LIST_RevanPerson_$_RevanRun __attribute__ ((used, section ("__DATA,__objc_const"))) = {
    sizeof(_prop_t),
    2,
    {{"delegate","T@\"<RevanPerson_RevanRunDelegate>\",W,N"},
    {"speed","Td,N"}}
};

三、Category底层实现原理

• 场景：
  • RevanPerson

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject
- (void)test;
@end
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson
- (void)test {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson -test");
}
@end

• RevanPerson+RevanSleep

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanPerson (RevanSleep)
- (void)sleep;
- (void)test;
@end
@implementation RevanPerson (RevanSleep)
- (void)sleep {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanSleep) -sleep");
}

- (void)test {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanSleep) -test");
}
@end

• 测试代码

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "RevanPerson.h"
#import "RevanPerson+RevanRun.h"
#import "RevanPerson+RevanSleep.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    RevanPerson *person = [[RevanPerson alloc] init];
    
    [person test];
    [person sleep];
}

@end

• person对象为什么可以调用Category中的sleep方法？
• 当Category中有test对象方法和RevanPerson.h文件中申明的test对象方法一样的时候，问什么会调用Category中的test？
• runtime源码
• 分析源码

1、找到_objc_init
2、找到map_images
3、找到map_images_nolock
4、找到_read_images
5、找到remethodizeClass
6、找到attachCategories
7、找到attachCategories
8、找到attachLists

• 分析attachCategories函数

/**
 @param cls 传入的类
 @param cats Category方法列表
 */
static void
attachCategories(Class cls, category_list *cats, bool flush_caches)
{
    if (!cats) return;
    if (PrintReplacedMethods) printReplacements(cls, cats);
    //判断传入的cls是否是meta-class对象
    bool isMeta = cls->isMetaClass();

    // fixme rearrange to remove these intermediate allocations
    // method_list_t存储方法列表
    method_list_t **mlists = (method_list_t **)
        malloc(cats->count * sizeof(*mlists));
    
    // property_list_t存储属性列表
    property_list_t **proplists = (property_list_t **)
        malloc(cats->count * sizeof(*proplists));
    
    // protocol_list_t存储协议列表
    protocol_list_t **protolists = (protocol_list_t **)
        malloc(cats->count * sizeof(*protolists));

    // Count backwards through cats to get newest categories first
    int mcount = 0;
    int propcount = 0;
    int protocount = 0;
    //Category方法的个数
    int i = cats->count;
    bool fromBundle = NO;
    while (i--) {
        //倒序取出Category列表中的方法
        auto& entry = cats->list[i];
        //通过isMeta来判断是去对象方法，还是类方法
        method_list_t *mlist = entry.cat->methodsForMeta(isMeta);
        
        //把Category方法倒序的添加mlists数组中
        if (mlist) {
            mlists[mcount++] = mlist;
            fromBundle |= entry.hi->isBundle();
        }

        property_list_t *proplist = 
            entry.cat->propertiesForMeta(isMeta, entry.hi);
        //把Category属性倒序的添加proplists数组中
        if (proplist) {
            proplists[propcount++] = proplist;
        }

        protocol_list_t *protolist = entry.cat->protocols;
        //把Category协议倒序的添加protolists数组中
        if (protolist) {
            protolists[protocount++] = protolist;
        }
    }

    auto rw = cls->data();

    prepareMethodLists(cls, mlists, mcount, NO, fromBundle);
    rw->methods.attachLists(mlists, mcount);
    free(mlists);
    if (flush_caches  &&  mcount > 0) flushCaches(cls);

    rw->properties.attachLists(proplists, propcount);
    free(proplists);

    rw->protocols.attachLists(protolists, protocount);
    free(protolists);
}

• 当在没有运行代码时 Category原理一.png
• 当运行代码时 RevanPerson原理二.png
• 最后方法列表 RevanPerson原理三.png
• 小结：
  • 在分类和类中有相同的对象方法时，因为在class对象的对象方法列表中Category中的方法排在前面
  • 当有多个Category时并且有相同方法，具体调用哪一个Category中的方法，遵守先被编译的Category方法排在方法列表中的后面，但是一定在class对象中相同方法的前面

四、+load方法

+load方法会在runtime加载类、分类时调用，并且每个类、分类的+load在程序运行过程中只调用一次

1、一个类的+load方法和分类的+load方法调用的先后顺序

• RevanPerson

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject

@end
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson
+ (void)load {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson");
}
@end

• RevanPerson+RevanRun

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanPerson (RevanRun)

@end

#import "RevanPerson+RevanRun.h"

@implementation RevanPerson (RevanRun)
+ (void)load {
     NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanRun) +load");
}
@end

• RevanPerson+RevanSleep

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanPerson (RevanSleep)

@end
#import "RevanPerson+RevanSleep.h"

@implementation RevanPerson (RevanSleep)
+(void)load {
     NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanSleep) +load");
}
@end

• 测试代码

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "RevanPerson.h"
#import "RevanPerson+RevanRun.h"
#import "RevanPerson+RevanSleep.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
}

@end
打印输出：
2018-07-02 02:04:49.021850+0800 01-Category[10118:587209] RevanPerson

2018-07-02 02:04:49.052451+0800 01-Category[10118:587209] RevanPerson (RevanRun) +load

• 源码分析

类和分类的+load方法是程序运行的时候就会加载，所以可以查看runtime的源码

• 1、runtime的入口void _objc_init(void)

void _objc_init(void)
{
    static bool initialized = false;
    if (initialized) return;
    initialized = true;
    
    // fixme defer initialization until an objc-using image is found?
    environ_init();
    tls_init();
    static_init();
    lock_init();
    exception_init();
    //注册加载入口
    _dyld_objc_notify_register(&map_images, load_images, unmap_image);
}

• 2、加载load镜像load_images

void
load_images(const char *path __unused, const struct mach_header *mh)
{
    // Return without taking locks if there are no +load methods here.
    if (!hasLoadMethods((const headerType *)mh)) return;

    recursive_mutex_locker_t lock(loadMethodLock);

    // Discover load methods
    {
        rwlock_writer_t lock2(runtimeLock);
        prepare_load_methods((const headerType *)mh);
    }
    //Revan:调用 +load方法
    // Call +load methods (without runtimeLock - re-entrant)
    call_load_methods();
}

• 3、call_load_methods()加载+load方法

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 {
        //Revan：加载class的 +load方法
        // 1. Repeatedly call class +loads until there aren't any more
        while (loadable_classes_used > 0) {
            call_class_loads();
        }
        //Revan：加载Category中的 +load方法
        // 2. Call category +loads ONCE
        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;
}

• 调用类的+load方法call_class_loads，直接获得程序中的所有类，并且直接执行+load方法

static void call_class_loads(void)
{
    int i;
    /*
         struct loadable_class {
             Class cls;  // may be nil
             IMP method;
         };
        这个结构体中的 method是load方法
     */
    // 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;
    /*
        loadable_classes_used是在准备加载类的时候，计算出类的个数，后面具体分析
        通过for循环来调用所有类的+load方法
     */
    // Call all +loads for the detached list.
    for (i = 0; i < used; i++) {
        //获取类
        Class cls = classes[i].cls;
        // typedef void(*load_method_t)(id, SEL);
        //获取方法（+load方法）
        //load_method函数指针
        load_method_t load_method = (load_method_t)classes[i].method;
        if (!cls) continue; 

        if (PrintLoading) {
            _objc_inform("LOAD: +[%s load]\n", cls->nameForLogging());
        }
        //直接执行cls类的load方法
        (*load_method)(cls, SEL_load);
    }
    
    // Destroy the detached list.
    if (classes) free(classes);
}

• 4、加载分类的+load方法call_category_loads

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 {
        //Revan：加载class的 +load方法
        // 1. Repeatedly call class +loads until there aren't any more
        while (loadable_classes_used > 0) {
            call_class_loads();
        }
        
        /********** 加载类的+load方法都完成后接下来才加载分类的+load方法 ***********/
        
        //Revan：加载Category中的 +load方法
        // 2. Call category +loads ONCE
        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;
}

• 调用分类的+load方法（call_category_loads）

static bool call_category_loads(void)
{
    int i, shift;
    bool new_categories_added = NO;
    /**
         struct loadable_category {
             Category cat;  // may be nil
             IMP method;
         };
     */
    // Detach current loadable list.
    struct loadable_category *cats = loadable_categories;
    int used = loadable_categories_used;
    int allocated = loadable_categories_allocated;
    loadable_categories = nil;
    loadable_categories_allocated = 0;
    loadable_categories_used = 0;

    // Call all +loads for the detached list.
    for (i = 0; i < used; i++) {
        //typedef struct category_t *Category;
        //获取分类
        Category cat = cats[i].cat;
        //获取分类中的+load方法
        load_method_t load_method = (load_method_t)cats[i].method;
        Class cls;
        if (!cat) continue;

        cls = _category_getClass(cat);
        if (cls  &&  cls->isLoadable()) {
            if (PrintLoading) {
                _objc_inform("LOAD: +[%s(%s) load]\n", 
                             cls->nameForLogging(), 
                             _category_getName(cat));
            }
            //执行类的+load方法
            (*load_method)(cls, SEL_load);
            cats[i].cat = nil;
        }
    }

    // Compact detached list (order-preserving)
    shift = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < used; i++) {
        if (cats[i].cat) {
            cats[i-shift] = cats[i];
        } else {
            shift++;
        }
    }
    used -= shift;

    // Copy any new +load candidates from the new list to the detached list.
    new_categories_added = (loadable_categories_used > 0);
    for (i = 0; i < loadable_categories_used; i++) {
        if (used == allocated) {
            allocated = allocated*2 + 16;
            cats = (struct loadable_category *)
                realloc(cats, allocated *
                                  sizeof(struct loadable_category));
        }
        cats[used++] = loadable_categories[i];
    }

    // Destroy the new list.
    if (loadable_categories) free(loadable_categories);

    // Reattach the (now augmented) detached list. 
    // But if there's nothing left to load, destroy the list.
    if (used) {
        loadable_categories = cats;
        loadable_categories_used = used;
        loadable_categories_allocated = allocated;
    } else {
        if (cats) free(cats);
        loadable_categories = nil;
        loadable_categories_used = 0;
        loadable_categories_allocated = 0;
    }

    if (PrintLoading) {
        if (loadable_categories_used != 0) {
            _objc_inform("LOAD: %d categories still waiting for +load\n",
                         loadable_categories_used);
        }
    }

    return new_categories_added;
}

• 小结：
  • 从上面的分析可以很肯定的一点是，在类和分类同时存在的情况下，肯定是先执行类的+load方法之后才执行分类的+load方法

2、多个类的+load方法调用顺序

• RevanPerson类

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject

@end
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson

+ (void)load {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson +load");
}

@end

• RevanCat类

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanCat : NSObject

@end
#import "RevanCat.h"

@implementation RevanCat

+ (void)load {
    NSLog(@"RevanCat +load");
}

@end

• RevanCar类

• 源码分析
• 1、runtime初始化的方法

void _objc_init(void)
{
    static bool initialized = false;
    if (initialized) return;
    initialized = true;
    
    // fixme defer initialization until an objc-using image is found?
    environ_init();
    tls_init();
    static_init();
    lock_init();
    exception_init();
    //注册加载入口
    _dyld_objc_notify_register(&map_images, load_images, unmap_image);
}

• 2、加载load的镜像方法

void
load_images(const char *path __unused, const struct mach_header *mh)
{
    // Return without taking locks if there are no +load methods here.
    if (!hasLoadMethods((const headerType *)mh)) return;

    recursive_mutex_locker_t lock(loadMethodLock);

    // Discover load methods
    {
        rwlock_writer_t lock2(runtimeLock);
        //准备加载load方法
        prepare_load_methods((const headerType *)mh);
    }
    //Revan:调用 +load方法
    // Call +load methods (without runtimeLock - re-entrant)
    call_load_methods();
}

• 3、刚才分析加载load方法(call_load_methods)，在里面我们看到了存储类和分类的数组，那么这个数组中的值是什么时候加载的呢？从上面的源码可以发现在加载call_load_methods函数的前面有一个准备加载load方法的函数prepare_load_methods函数

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

    runtimeLock.assertWriting();
    //_getObjc2NonlazyClassList：获取objc不是懒加载类的列表
    //这个方法应该是获得程序中所有的类
    //typedef struct classref * classref_t;
    classref_t *classlist = 
        _getObjc2NonlazyClassList(mhdr, &count);
    //通过遍历存储类的数组，
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        /*
            把类传入到定制加载类的load函数中（schedule_class_load）
            如果传入的是一个子类，那么他会一层一层取到cls的父类
            然后在一个一个的把类添加到一个数组中（add_class_to_loadable_list函数实现）
         */
        schedule_class_load(remapClass(classlist[i]));
    }
    
    //_getObjc2NonlazyCategoryList：获取objc不是懒加载分类的列表
    category_t **categorylist = _getObjc2NonlazyCategoryList(mhdr, &count);
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        //获取分类category_t
        category_t *cat = categorylist[i];
        //把category_t转化成类
        Class cls = remapClass(cat->cls);
        if (!cls) continue;  // category for ignored weak-linked class
        realizeClass(cls);
        assert(cls->ISA()->isRealized());
        //获取分类数组
        add_category_to_loadable_list(cat);
    }
}

• 4、加载类的load方法做一些schedule事情（schedule_class_load）：比如查找类的父类

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
    /*
        这是一个递归，
        先获得传入的类的父类
        之后在传入定制加载类的+load方法
     */
    schedule_class_load(cls->superclass);
    //把类一个一个的添加到数组中
    add_class_to_loadable_list(cls);
    cls->setInfo(RW_LOADED); 
}

• 5、使用add_class_to_loadable_list函数把类加载到一个数组loadable_classes中

void add_class_to_loadable_list(Class cls)
{
    IMP method;

    loadMethodLock.assertLocked();
    //获取类的load方法
    method = cls->getLoadMethod();
    if (!method) return;  // Don't bother if cls has no +load method
    
    if (PrintLoading) {
        _objc_inform("LOAD: class '%s' scheduled for +load", 
                     cls->nameForLogging());
    }
    /**
     最开始
         static int loadable_classes_used = 0;
         static int loadable_classes_allocated = 0;
     所以第一次会进入if判断中
        loadable_classes_allocated = 16
     
     在执行了call_class_loads函数后：
     loadable_classes_allocated = 0;
     loadable_classes_used = 0;
     */
    if (loadable_classes_used == loadable_classes_allocated) {
        loadable_classes_allocated = loadable_classes_allocated*2 + 16;
        //给loadable_classes数组分配空间
        loadable_classes = (struct loadable_class *)
            realloc(loadable_classes,
                              loadable_classes_allocated *
                              sizeof(struct loadable_class));
    }
    //获取loadable_classes_used元素并且给属性赋值（cls、method）
    loadable_classes[loadable_classes_used].cls = cls;
    loadable_classes[loadable_classes_used].method = method;
    //下标++
    loadable_classes_used++;
}

• 小结：
  • 可以肯定的是在有多个类的时候，加载类的+load方法的先后顺序是要看这些类的编译顺的，先编译先调用类的load方法

4、一个类和子类的+load方法调用顺序

• RevanPerson

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject

@end

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson
+ (void)load {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson");
}
@end

• RevanStudent

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanStudent : RevanPerson

@end
#import "RevanStudent.h"

@implementation RevanStudent
+ (void)load {
    NSLog(@"RevanStudent");
}
@end

• 测试代码

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "RevanPerson.h"
#import "RevanPerson+RevanRun.h"
#import "RevanPerson+RevanSleep.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
}

@end
打印输出：
2018-07-02 02:07:36.637509+0800 01-Category[10168:589605] RevanPerson
2018-07-02 02:07:36.639657+0800 01-Category[10168:589605] RevanStudent

• 小结：
  • 通过上面的源码分析，我们可以知道，在准备加载类的load方法中有一个schedule_class_load函数，在这个函数中会递归调用schedule_class_load函数传入父类，然后再调用add_class_to_loadable_list函数把类一个一个追加到数组loadable_classes中，由于在使用数组loadable_classes的时候是用的for循环，从前往后一个一个取值，所以会先调用父类的load方法再调用子类的load方法。
• 源码辅助理解

//定制化class的load函数
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
    /*
        这是一个递归，
        先获得传入的类的父类
        之后在传入定制加载类的+load方法
     */
    schedule_class_load(cls->superclass);
    //把类一个一个的添加到数组中
    add_class_to_loadable_list(cls);
    cls->setInfo(RW_LOADED); 
}

//把类加入到loadable_classes数组中
void add_class_to_loadable_list(Class cls)
{
    IMP method;

    loadMethodLock.assertLocked();
    //获取类的load方法
    method = cls->getLoadMethod();
    if (!method) return;  // Don't bother if cls has no +load method
    
    if (PrintLoading) {
        _objc_inform("LOAD: class '%s' scheduled for +load", 
                     cls->nameForLogging());
    }
    /**
     最开始
         static int loadable_classes_used = 0;
         static int loadable_classes_allocated = 0;
     所以第一次会进入if判断中
        loadable_classes_allocated = 16
     
     在执行了call_class_loads函数后：
     loadable_classes_allocated = 0;
     loadable_classes_used = 0;
     */
    if (loadable_classes_used == loadable_classes_allocated) {
        loadable_classes_allocated = loadable_classes_allocated*2 + 16;
        //给loadable_classes数组分配空间
        loadable_classes = (struct loadable_class *)
            realloc(loadable_classes,
                              loadable_classes_allocated *
                              sizeof(struct loadable_class));
    }
    //获取loadable_classes_used元素并且给属性赋值（cls、method）
    loadable_classes[loadable_classes_used].cls = cls;
    loadable_classes[loadable_classes_used].method = method;
    //下标++
    loadable_classes_used++;
}

5、当类有Category并且子类也有Category的时候+load调用顺序

• RevanPerson

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject

@end
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson
+ (void)load {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson");
}
@end

• RevanPerson+RevanRun

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson (RevanRun)
+ (void)load {

}
@end

• RevanPerson+RevanSleep

5、加载+load方法的源码分析

• runtime入口

void _objc_init(void)
{
    static bool initialized = false;
    if (initialized) return;
    initialized = true;
    
    // fixme defer initialization until an objc-using image is found?
    environ_init();
    tls_init();
    static_init();
    lock_init();
    exception_init();
    //注册加载入口
    _dyld_objc_notify_register(&map_images, load_images, unmap_image);
}

• 加载load镜像

load_images(const char *path __unused, const struct mach_header *mh)
{
    // Return without taking locks if there are no +load methods here.
    if (!hasLoadMethods((const headerType *)mh)) return;

    recursive_mutex_locker_t lock(loadMethodLock);

    // Discover load methods
    {
        rwlock_writer_t lock2(runtimeLock);
        //准备加载load方法
        prepare_load_methods((const headerType *)mh);
    }
    //Revan:调用 +load方法
    // Call +load methods (without runtimeLock - re-entrant)
    call_load_methods();
}

• 5.1、runtime加载代码中有多少个类的
• 5.1.1、准备加载load方法（prepare_load_methods），在里面有些注释。在获取类的load方法和获取分类的load方法大致是一样的，唯一不一样的地方是在遍历获取类的load中是调用了一个加载类的load方法的定制函数（schedule_class_load函数），这个函数中自己调用自己，传入的参数是父类，通过递归来获得父类，最后在执行add_class_to_loadable_list来把类的load方法都添加到loadable_classes数组中；添加分类的load方法是没有递归父类的load方法这一步，直接使用add_category_to_loadable_list函数添加分类的load方法到loadable_categories数组中

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

    runtimeLock.assertWriting();
    //_getObjc2NonlazyClassList：获取objc不是懒加载类的列表
    //这个方法应该是获得程序中所有的类
    //typedef struct classref * classref_t;
    classref_t *classlist = 
        _getObjc2NonlazyClassList(mhdr, &count);
    //通过遍历存储类的数组，
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        /*
            把类传入到定制加载类的load函数中（schedule_class_load）
            如果传入的是一个子类，那么他会一层一层取到cls的父类
            然后在一个一个的把类添加到一个数组中（add_class_to_loadable_list函数实现）
         */
        schedule_class_load(remapClass(classlist[i]));
    }
    
    //_getObjc2NonlazyCategoryList：获取objc不是懒加载分类的列表
    category_t **categorylist = _getObjc2NonlazyCategoryList(mhdr, &count);
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        //获取分类category_t
        category_t *cat = categorylist[i];
        //把category_t转化成类
        Class cls = remapClass(cat->cls);
        if (!cls) continue;  // category for ignored weak-linked class
        realizeClass(cls);
        assert(cls->ISA()->isRealized());
        //获取分类数组
        add_category_to_loadable_list(cat);
    }
}

• 类的load方法schedule函数schedule_class_load

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
    /*
        这是一个递归，
        先获得传入的类的父类
        之后在传入定制加载类的+load方法
     */
    schedule_class_load(cls->superclass);
    //把类一个一个的添加到数组中
    add_class_to_loadable_list(cls);
    cls->setInfo(RW_LOADED); 
}

• 把类的load方法添加到loadable_classes数组中

void add_class_to_loadable_list(Class cls)
{
    IMP method;

    loadMethodLock.assertLocked();
    //获取类的load方法
    method = cls->getLoadMethod();
    if (!method) return;  // Don't bother if cls has no +load method
    
    if (PrintLoading) {
        _objc_inform("LOAD: class '%s' scheduled for +load", 
                     cls->nameForLogging());
    }
    /**
     最开始
         static int loadable_classes_used = 0;
         static int loadable_classes_allocated = 0;
     所以第一次会进入if判断中
        loadable_classes_allocated = 16
     
     在执行了call_class_loads函数后：
     loadable_classes_allocated = 0;
     loadable_classes_used = 0;
     */
    if (loadable_classes_used == loadable_classes_allocated) {
        loadable_classes_allocated = loadable_classes_allocated*2 + 16;
        //给loadable_classes数组分配空间
        loadable_classes = (struct loadable_class *)
            realloc(loadable_classes,
                              loadable_classes_allocated *
                              sizeof(struct loadable_class));
    }
    //获取loadable_classes_used元素并且给属性赋值（cls、method）
    loadable_classes[loadable_classes_used].cls = cls;
    loadable_classes[loadable_classes_used].method = method;
    //下标++
    loadable_classes_used++;
}

• 添加分类的load方法到loadable_categories数组中

void add_category_to_loadable_list(Category cat)
{
    IMP method;

    loadMethodLock.assertLocked();

    method = _category_getLoadMethod(cat);

    // Don't bother if cat has no +load method
    if (!method) return;

    if (PrintLoading) {
        _objc_inform("LOAD: category '%s(%s)' scheduled for +load", 
                     _category_getClassName(cat), _category_getName(cat));
    }
    
    if (loadable_categories_used == loadable_categories_allocated) {
        loadable_categories_allocated = loadable_categories_allocated*2 + 16;
        loadable_categories = (struct loadable_category *)
            realloc(loadable_categories,
                              loadable_categories_allocated *
                              sizeof(struct loadable_category));
    }

    loadable_categories[loadable_categories_used].cat = cat;
    loadable_categories[loadable_categories_used].method = method;
    loadable_categories_used++;
}

• 5.2、runtime调用类或者分类的load方法
• 5.2.1、call_load_methods函数，通过loadable_classes_used来判断是否有类，如何有就调用类的call_class_loads函数

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 {
        //Revan：加载class的 +load方法
        // 1. Repeatedly call class +loads until there aren't any more
        while (loadable_classes_used > 0) {
            call_class_loads();
        }
        
        /********** 加载类的+load方法都完成后接下来才加载分类的+load方法 ***********/
        
        //Revan：加载Category中的 +load方法
        // 2. Call category +loads ONCE
        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;
}

• 5.2.2、调用触发（类调用load方法的函数（call_class_loads））在这里存储类的数组classes，遍历数组classes，直接拿到method中的load方法直接执行。所以call_class_loads函数调用过后类的load方法都已经调用完成

static void call_class_loads(void)
{
    int i;
    /*
         struct loadable_class {
             Class cls;  // may be nil
             IMP method;
         };
        这个结构体中的 method是load方法
     */
    // 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;
    /*
        loadable_classes_used是在准备加载类的时候，计算出类的个数，后面具体分析
        通过for循环来调用所有类的+load方法
     */
    // Call all +loads for the detached list.
    for (i = 0; i < used; i++) {
        //获取类
        Class cls = classes[i].cls;
        // typedef void(*load_method_t)(id, SEL);
        //获取方法（+load方法）
        //load_method函数指针
        load_method_t load_method = (load_method_t)classes[i].method;
        if (!cls) continue; 

        if (PrintLoading) {
            _objc_inform("LOAD: +[%s load]\n", cls->nameForLogging());
        }
        //直接执行cls类的load方法
        (*load_method)(cls, SEL_load);
    }
    
    // Destroy the detached list.
    if (classes) free(classes);
}

• 5.2.3、触发（分类调用load函数（call_category_loads））拿到存储分类的loadable_categories数组，通过遍历数组loadable_categories，来获得method和转换的cls，之后直接调用

static bool call_category_loads(void)
{
    int i, shift;
    bool new_categories_added = NO;
    /**
         struct loadable_category {
             Category cat;  // may be nil
             IMP method;
         };
     */
    // Detach current loadable list.
    struct loadable_category *cats = loadable_categories;
    int used = loadable_categories_used;
    int allocated = loadable_categories_allocated;
    loadable_categories = nil;
    loadable_categories_allocated = 0;
    loadable_categories_used = 0;

    // Call all +loads for the detached list.
    for (i = 0; i < used; i++) {
        //typedef struct category_t *Category;
        //获取分类
        Category cat = cats[i].cat;
        //获取分类中的+load方法
        load_method_t load_method = (load_method_t)cats[i].method;

• 小结
  • a)调用类的+load方法
    • 先调用类的+load方法，按照编译先后顺序调用（先编译，先调用）
    • 调用子类的+load之前会先调用父类的+load方法
  • b)调用分类的+load方法
    • 按照编译先后顺序调用（先编译，先调用）

五、+initialize方法

+initialize方法会在类第一次接收到消息时调用

• RevanPerson

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject

@end
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson
+ (void)initialize {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson + initialize");
}
@end

• 测试代码

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

}

@end

• 没有输出，RevanPerson中的initialize方法没有调用，所以当代码中不使用RevanPerson这个类的时候，是不会触发initialize方法
• 测试代码（使用RevanPerson）

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [RevanPerson alloc];
}

@end

• 打印输出：2018-07-03 01:47:32.869743+0800 04-initialize[13794:849444] RevanPerson + initialize

1、但类和分类中都有+ initialize方法时，initialize如何调用

• 1、RevanPerson

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject

@end
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson
+ (void)initialize {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson + initialize");
}
@end

• 2、RevanPerson+RevanRun

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanPerson (RevanRun)

@end
#import "RevanPerson+RevanRun.h"

@implementation RevanPerson (RevanRun)

+ (void)initialize {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanRun) + initialize");
}

@end

• 3、RevanPerson+RevanEat

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanPerson (RevanEat)

@end
#import "RevanPerson+RevanEat.h"

@implementation RevanPerson (RevanEat)

+ (void)initialize {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson (RevanEat) + initialize");
}

@end

• 测试代码

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [RevanPerson alloc];
}

@end
打印输出：
2018-07-03 01:54:59.108693+0800 04-initialize[13882:854989] RevanPerson (RevanEat) + initialize

• 发现是使用的分类中的+initialize方法。调整2个分类的编译顺序后，发现打印结果发生改变

2018-07-03 01:56:12.115167+0800 04-initialize[13899:856044] RevanPerson (RevanRun) + initialize

• 4、源码分析
• 4.1、找到objc-runtime-new.mm文件中的class_getInstanceMethod

Method class_getInstanceMethod(Class cls, SEL sel)
{
    if (!cls  ||  !sel) return nil;

    // This deliberately avoids +initialize because it historically did so.

    // This implementation is a bit weird because it's the only place that 
    // wants a Method instead of an IMP.

#warning fixme build and search caches
        
    // Search method lists, try method resolver, etc.
    lookUpImpOrNil(cls, sel, nil, 
                   NO/*initialize*/, NO/*cache*/, YES/*resolver*/);

#warning fixme build and search caches

    return _class_getMethod(cls, sel);
}

• 4.2、查看lookUpImpOrNil方法

IMP lookUpImpOrNil(Class cls, SEL sel, id inst, 
                   bool initialize, bool cache, bool resolver)

• 4.4、通过传入的参数initialize和调用类的isInitialized函数的返回结果一起来判断是否调用_class_initialize函数，是否要初始化类；当这个类需要初始化（initialize=YES）并且还没有初始化（isInitialized函数返回值为NO时）会调用_class_initialize函数进行初始化。
  • 4.4.1、首先会找到cls的父类，查看父类是否存在，父类是否已经初始化，当父类也需要初始化的时候会递归调用_class_initialize函数
  • 4.4.2、在父类初始化完成以后，如果当前类没有初始化，那么进行当前类的初始化并且把reallyInitialize=YES
  • 4.4.3、当前类已经初始化完成后调用callInitialize函数

• 4.5、调用初始化callInitialize，实质是给当前类发送一个SEL_initialize消息

• 小结
  • 调用+initialize本质是给一个类发送一个initialize消息，由于消息机制的本质（isa指针、supercla指针），所以会优先调用分类的方法

2、类和子类都有+initialize

3、当子类不实现 + initialize方法父类实现了 + initialize方法

• 父类RevanPerson

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface RevanPerson : NSObject

@end
#import "RevanPerson.h"

@implementation RevanPerson
+ (void)initialize {
    NSLog(@"RevanPerson + initialize");
}
@end

• 子类RevanStudent

#import "RevanPerson.h"

@interface RevanStudent : RevanPerson

@end
#import "RevanStudent.h"

@implementation RevanStudent

@end

• 测试代码

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "RevanPerson.h"
#import "RevanStudent.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    [RevanStudent alloc];
    [RevanPerson alloc];
}

@end
代码输出：

2018-07-03 02:43:32.157267+0800 04-initialize[14409:889050] RevanPerson + initialize
2018-07-03 02:43:32.157466+0800 04-initialize[14409:889050] RevanPerson + initialize

• 会发现调用了2次父类中的+ initialize方法
• 原理分析
  • 当[RevanStudent alloc]的时候，通过上面的源码分析可知
    • RevanStudent是否需要初始化，如果需要初始化
      • 查看RevanStudent是否有父类，并且查看父类是否需要初始化，如果需要先给父类初始化，由于+ initialize方法的底层实现时给类发送了一个initialize消息，所以第一次打印是RevanStudent父类的初始化
    • RevanStudent父类初始化完成后，才会会RevanStudent类初始化，所以会给RevanStudent类发送一个initialize消息，这时会通过isa指针找到RevanStudent的meta-class对象，从类方法列表中查找，发现没有，在通过meta-class对象中的superclass找的父类RevanPerson的meta-class对象并且从类方法列表中查找initialize方法，如果有就实行调用。所以第二次打印的RevanPerson + initialize是RevanStudent触发的

六、load、initialize方法小结

• 1.调用方式

  • load是根据函数地址直接调用
  • initialize是通过objc_msgSend调用

• 2.调用时刻

  • load是runtime加载类、分类的时候调用（只会调用1次）
  • initialize是类第一次接收到消息的时候调用，每一个类只会initialize一次
  • 父类的initialize方法可能会被调用多次，但只initialize一次

• 3.load、initialize的调用顺序？

  • 1.load

    • 先调用类的load
    • 先编译的类，优先调用load
    • 调用子类的load之前，会先调用父类的load

  • 1.2.再调用分类的load

    • 先编译的分类，优先调用load

  • 2.initialize

    • 先初始化父类
    • 再初始化子类（可能最终调用的是父类的initialize方法）
