KVO的本质-另附runtime代码实现

先上简单的背景代码：

@interface ViewController ()
@property(nonatomic, strong) Dog *dog;
@end

@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    self.dog = [Dog new];
    self.dog.say = @"wow";
    NSLog(@"class name before kvo:%s",object_getClassName(self.dog));
    [self.dog addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"say" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew context:nil];
    NSLog(@"class name after kvo:%s",object_getClassName(self.dog));
    self.dog.say = @"yeah";
}

- (void)dealloc{
    [self.dog removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"setSay"];
}

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary<NSKeyValueChangeKey,id> *)change context:(void *)context {
    NSLog(@"%@",change);
}

Log

god:wow
class name before kvo:Dog
class name after kvo:NSKVONotifying_Dog
god:yeah
{
    kind = 1;
    new = yeah;
}

可以注意到kvo之后对象dog的类型改变了。
可以猜想设置了kvo之后：
1.runtime重新生成了一个类型
2.然后将原对象的指针指向他
3.在新类型中动态添加新的方法来转接原来的setXX方法
3.1转发方法给父类属性set
3.2通知监听对象属性发生了改变

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "Dog.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>
#import <objc/message.h>
@implementation Dog

// 给子类提供的IMP
void kvoMethond(id obj,SEL sel, NSString * str) {
    // 创建父类实例-superDog
    struct objc_super superDog = {
        obj,
        class_getSuperclass([obj class])
    };
    // super.setName
    objc_msgSendSuper(&superDog, sel, str);
    
    NSString *selString = [NSStringFromSelector(sel) substringToIndex:NSStringFromSelector(sel).length-1];
    NSString *key = [NSStringFromSelector(sel) substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(3, selString.length - 3)];
    key = [[key substringToIndex:1].lowercaseString stringByAppendingString:[key substringFromIndex:1]];
    // 通知观察者调用监听方法
    // 获取observer
    id observer = objc_getAssociatedObject(obj, "dog_observer");
    [observer observeValueForKeyPath:key ofObject:obj change:@{@"new": str} context:nil];
}

- (void)setSay:(NSString *)say {
    _say = say;
    NSLog(@"god:%@",say);
}

// 自定义实现的kvo
- (void)dog_addObserver:(NSObject *)observer forKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath options:(NSKeyValueObservingOptions)options context:(nullable void *)context {
    
    const char* kvoClassName = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"KVONotification_%@",NSStringFromClass(self.class)] UTF8String];
    // 动态创建子类
    Class kvoClass = objc_allocateClassPair(self.class, kvoClassName, 0);
    // 将self的isa指向新的子类
    object_setClass(self, kvoClass);
    
    NSString *pathName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"set%@:",keyPath.capitalizedString];
    SEL sel = NSSelectorFromString(pathName);
    // 给sel（setName）设置新的 IMP
    class_addMethod(kvoClass, sel, (IMP)kvoMethond, "v@:@");
    
    // 使用关联方法保存 observer（IMP方法内要用到这个对象）
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, "dog_observer", observer, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}
