上篇我们在dyld分析分析中了解到在dyld启动过程是会调用objc的init方法，而该init方法中会往dyld中注册一个回调，在dyld后续流程中会调用该回调map_images。
类的读取
map_images中主要是调用map_images_nolock，而map_images_nolock主要流程是进行了一些初始化，以及最关键的把所有的在读取到内存中来（注意读取的类并未实现，其ro、rw数据还没有处理好）

梳理一下类的读取流程：map_images->map_images_nolock->_read_images->readClass->addClassTableEntry，就是读取images中所有的类并把它们加载到全局的classTable中来。
类的实现
另外在read_images过程中对于非懒加载的类（实现过load方法的类）会直接对其实现，进入realizeClassWithoutSwift方法中来。而该方法主要是处理类以及其父类元类的关系，加载方法列表（包括分类的方法）。

class_rw_t *rw;
Class supercls;

addSubclass(supercls, cls);
} else {
addRootClass(cls);
}
// Attach categories
//加载方法列表，以及分类数据
methodizeClass(cls, previously);
return cls;
}
分类的本质
在进入methodizeClass方法前我们先看一下分类的本质是什么。最核心的是被转换成了_category_t这个一个结构体。
//定义一个LGPerson的分类，增加一个类方法和实例方法以及一个属性
@interface LGPerson(AA)
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *categoryNickName;
- (void)lg_categoryInstanceMethod;
+ (void)lg_categoryClassMethod;
@end
@implementation LGPerson(AA)
- (void)lg_categoryInstanceMethod{
}
+ (void)lg_categoryClassMethod {
}
@end
然后用 clang -rewrite-objc main.m -o main.cpp 看一下在编译阶段真正的实现
//声明并初始化了一个类型为_category_t的全局静态变量
static struct _category_t _OBJC_$_CATEGORY_LGPerson_$_AA __attribute__ ((used, section ("__DATA,__objc_const"))) =
{
"LGPerson",
0, // &OBJC_CLASS_$_LGPerson,
(const struct _method_list_t *)&_OBJC_$_CATEGORY_INSTANCE_METHODS_LGPerson_$_AA,
(const struct _method_list_t *)&_OBJC_$_CATEGORY_CLASS_METHODS_LGPerson_$_AA,
0,
(const struct _prop_list_t *)&_OBJC_$_PROP_LIST_LGPerson_$_AA,
};
//看一下_category_t是什么
struct _category_t {
const char *name;//类名称
struct _class_t *cls;//类
const struct _method_list_t *instance_methods;//实例方法列表
const struct _method_list_t *class_methods;//类方法列表
const struct _protocol_list_t *protocols;//协议列表
const struct _prop_list_t *properties;//属性列表
};
static struct /*_method_list_t*/ {
unsigned int entsize; // sizeof(struct _objc_method)
unsigned int method_count;
struct _objc_method method_list[1];
} _OBJC_$_CATEGORY_INSTANCE_METHODS_LGPerson_$_AA __attribute__ ((used, section ("__DATA,__objc_const"))) = {
sizeof(_objc_method),
1,
{{(struct objc_selector *)"lg_categoryInstanceMethod", "v16@0:8", (void *)_I_LGPerson_AA_lg_categoryInstanceMethod}}
};
static struct /*_method_list_t*/ {
unsigned int entsize; // sizeof(struct _objc_method)
unsigned int method_count;
struct _objc_method method_list[1];
} _OBJC_$_CATEGORY_CLASS_METHODS_LGPerson_$_AA __attribute__ ((used, section ("__DATA,__objc_const"))) = {
sizeof(_objc_method),
1,
{{(struct objc_selector *)"lg_categoryClassMethod", "v16@0:8", (void *)_C_LGPerson_AA_lg_categoryClassMethod}}
};
static struct /*_prop_list_t*/ {
unsigned int entsize; // sizeof(struct _prop_t)
unsigned int count_of_properties;
struct _prop_t prop_list[1];
} _OBJC_$_PROP_LIST_LGPerson_$_AA __attribute__ ((used, section ("__DATA,__objc_const"))) = {
sizeof(_prop_t),
1,
{{"categoryNickName","T@\"NSString\",C,N"}}
};
可以看到在底层分类被转换成了_category_t这个结构体，里面存储了所有的方法和属性，但属性没有get、set方法。
方法的处理
那接下来我们看一下methodizeClass中是如何处理类的方法以及分类方法的。主要是从ro中取出baseMethods，然后进行排序，如果需要处理分类（当分类中实现了load方法），则会把分类数据attach到整个方法列表中来。
static void methodizeClass(Class cls, Class previously)
{
runtimeLock.assertLocked();
bool isMeta = cls->isMetaClass();
auto rw = cls->data();
auto ro = rw->ro();
auto rwe = rw->ext();
// Methodizing for the first time
if (PrintConnecting) {
_objc_inform("CLASS: methodizing class '%s' %s",
cls->nameForLogging(), isMeta ? "(meta)" : "");
}
// Install methods and properties that the class implements itself.
method_list_t *list = ro->baseMethods();
if (list) {
//对方法进行排序
prepareMethodLists(cls, &list, 1, YES, isBundleClass(cls));
if (rwe) rwe->methods.attachLists(&list, 1);
}
property_list_t *proplist = ro->baseProperties;
if (rwe && proplist) {

// Root classes get bonus method implementations if they don't have

}
看一下attachToClass的实现，该方法主要是主类没有load方法，分类有load方法时进行分类方法的attach。
void attachToClass(Class cls, Class previously, int flags)
{
runtimeLock.assertLocked();
ASSERT((flags & ATTACH_CLASS) ||
(flags & ATTACH_METACLASS) ||
(flags & ATTACH_CLASS_AND_METACLASS));
auto &map = get();
auto it = map.find(previously);
if (it != map.end()) {
//只有主类没load，分类有load时条件才成立
category_list &list = it->second;
if (flags & ATTACH_CLASS_AND_METACLASS) {
int otherFlags = flags & ~ATTACH_CLASS_AND_METACLASS;
//处理类
attachCategories(cls, list.array(), list.count(), otherFlags | ATTACH_CLASS);
//处理元类
attachCategories(cls->ISA(), list.array(), list.count(), otherFlags | ATTACH_METACLASS);
} else {
//只处理类
attachCategories(cls, list.array(), list.count(), flags);
}
map.erase(it);
}
}
看一下最attachCategories实现，主要逻辑是先创建rwe，然后遍历所有的分类方法，然后一个一个attach到类的methodlist中来，并排好序
static void attachCategories(Class cls, const locstamped_category_t *cats_list, uint32_t cats_count,
int flags)
{
if (slowpath(PrintReplacedMethods)) {
printReplacements(cls, cats_list, cats_count);
}
if (slowpath(PrintConnecting)) {
_objc_inform("CLASS: attaching %d categories to%s class '%s'%s",
cats_count, (flags & ATTACH_EXISTING) ? " existing" : "",
cls->nameForLogging(), (flags & ATTACH_METACLASS) ? " (meta)" : "");
}
constexpr uint32_t ATTACH_BUFSIZ = 64;
method_list_t *mlists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ];
property_list_t *proplists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ];
protocol_list_t *protolists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ];
uint32_t mcount = 0;
uint32_t propcount = 0;
uint32_t protocount = 0;
bool fromBundle = NO;
bool isMeta = (flags & ATTACH_METACLASS);
//创建rwe
auto rwe = cls->data()->extAllocIfNeeded();
for (uint32_t i = 0; i < cats_count; i++) {
auto& entry = cats_list[i];
method_list_t *mlist = entry.cat->methodsForMeta(isMeta);
if (mlist) {
if (mcount == ATTACH_BUFSIZ) {
prepareMethodLists(cls, mlists, mcount, NO, fromBundle);
rwe->methods.attachLists(mlists, mcount);
mcount = 0;
}
mlists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ - ++mcount] = mlist;
fromBundle |= entry.hi->isBundle();
}
property_list_t *proplist =
entry.cat->propertiesForMeta(isMeta, entry.hi);
if (proplist) {
if (propcount == ATTACH_BUFSIZ) {
rwe->properties.attachLists(proplists, propcount);
propcount = 0;
}
proplists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ - ++propcount] = proplist;
}
protocol_list_t *protolist = entry.cat->protocolsForMeta(isMeta);
if (protolist) {
if (protocount == ATTACH_BUFSIZ) {
rwe->protocols.attachLists(protolists, protocount);
protocount = 0;
}
protolists[ATTACH_BUFSIZ - ++protocount] = protolist;
}
}
if (mcount > 0) {
prepareMethodLists(cls, mlists + ATTACH_BUFSIZ - mcount, mcount, NO, fromBundle);
rwe->methods.attachLists(mlists + ATTACH_BUFSIZ - mcount, mcount);
if (flags & ATTACH_EXISTING) flushCaches(cls);
}
rwe->properties.attachLists(proplists + ATTACH_BUFSIZ - propcount, propcount);
rwe->protocols.attachLists(protolists + ATTACH_BUFSIZ - protocount, protocount);
}
看一下attachlists方法，该方法分三种情况，如果只有一个list，那整个方法列表将是一个单列表，如果从一个变多个list，那将重新分配内存就成二维数组，如果本身就是二维的继续往里面插，则进行内存拷贝和移动。对于新的list是放前面的，所以分类的方法在查找时先被找到。
void attachLists(List* const * addedLists, uint32_t addedCount) {
if (addedCount == 0) return;
if (hasArray()) {
// many lists -> many lists
uint32_t oldCount = array()->count;
uint32_t newCount = oldCount + addedCount;
setArray((array_t *)realloc(array(), array_t::byteSize(newCount)));
array()->count = newCount;
memmove(array()->lists + addedCount, array()->lists,
oldCount * sizeof(array()->lists[0]));
memcpy(array()->lists, addedLists,
addedCount * sizeof(array()->lists[0]));
}
else if (!list && addedCount == 1) {
// 0 lists -> 1 list
list = addedLists[0];
}
else {
// 1 list -> many lists
List* oldList = list;
uint32_t oldCount = oldList ? 1 : 0;
uint32_t newCount = oldCount + addedCount;
setArray((array_t *)malloc(array_t::byteSize(newCount)));
array()->count = newCount;
if (oldList) array()->lists[addedCount] = oldList;
memcpy(array()->lists, addedLists,
addedCount * sizeof(array()->lists[0]));
}
}
其实跟踪attachCategories的调用情况，可以看到还有这样一条调用链路：
load_images->loadAllCategories->load_categories_nolock->attachCategories
那什么情况下会走到该流程中呢，和上面我们分析的分类方法的处理流程又有什么不同呢？
其实主要是根据主类和分类是否有load方法，会有不同的逻辑处理，分4种情况：
- 主类有load，分类有load，分类的加载就是load_images流程中，此时会产生rwe。
- 主类有load，分类没load，主类进入非懒加载流程提交实现，在主类加载的时候会把主类中的方法和分类中的方法一并加载进来，所以此时不会产生rwe。
- 主类没load，分类有load，在load_images方法的prepare_load_methods流程中会加载所有分类中的load方法，此时会调用主类的实现方法，而在其实现方法中会调用attachCategories加载分类。此时会产生rwe。
- 主类没load，分类没load，主类的实现在第一次消息发送的时候，然后会把主类和分类中的方法都一次性加载进来，此时不会产生rwe。
