引言
我們都知道,一個類有成員變量、對象方法、類方法,那么它們在底層是如何實現(xiàn)的呢?
前提
要想研究上面內(nèi)容,首先要知道oc對象在c++層面對應的內(nèi)容,新創(chuàng)建一個工程,里面創(chuàng)建一個Dog類,編譯main.m文件,就會發(fā)現(xiàn)與main.m同級的目錄下多了一個cpp文件。

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface Dog : NSObject
@property(nonatomic,copy)NSString*dogName;
-(void)eatFood;
-(void)playWithWhom:(NSString*)name;
@end
#import "Dog.h"
@implementation Dog
-(void)eatFood
{
NSLog(@"eatFood");
}
-(void)playWithWhom:(NSString*)name
{
NSLog(@"--%@",name);
}
@end
打開cpp搜索關鍵字dogName,可以看出Dog類是一個結(jié)構體Dog_IMPL,我們繼續(xù)看NSObject_IMPL,發(fā)現(xiàn)也是一個結(jié)構體,里面只有isa指針,并沒有我們定義的成員變量和方法。


NSObject在runtime中對應的源碼為

類對象的源碼為

接下來引出我們的重點,我們可以看出objc_class里最主要的三個成員變量。
Class superclass; //繼承 objc_object 的ISA 8字節(jié)
cache_t cache; // formerly cache pointer and vtable //16字節(jié),下面有詳解
class_data_bits_t bits; // class_rw_t * plus custom rr/alloc flags
其余的全是方法不用考慮,因為方法的存儲是在別的地方。
首先,我們來研究class_data_bits_t bits,通過首地址+指針偏移量來獲取到bits
struct cache_t {
private:
explicit_atomic<uintptr_t> _bucketsAndMaybeMask; //8個字節(jié)
union {
struct {
explicit_atomic<mask_t> _maybeMask; //4字節(jié)
#if __LP64__
uint16_t _flags; //2字節(jié)
#endif
uint16_t _occupied; //2字節(jié)
};
explicit_atomic<preopt_cache_t *> _originalPreoptCache; //8個字節(jié)
};
...省略的是一些static變量(全局區(qū))和方法,沒有影響。
}
由于聯(lián)合體union共用內(nèi)存,所以union為8個字節(jié),所以cache_t為 8 (uintptr_t)+ 8(union)=16字節(jié)。
結(jié)論:想獲取bits的值,就是首地址偏移 8+8+16 = 32個字節(jié)。
創(chuàng)建一個類:WJPerson
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN
@interface WJPerson : NSObject{
int age;
}
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;
@property (nonatomic, assign) float height;
- (void)playGuitar;
+ (void)eatFood;
// 1: 類的探究分析
// 2: 類方法 + ivar 在哪里
@end
NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END
#import "WJPerson.h"
@implementation WJPerson
- (instancetype)init{
if (self = [super init]) {
self.name = @"wuji";
}
return self;
}
- (void)playGuitar{
}
+ (void)eatFood{
}
@end
那么,成員變量和方法到底存儲在哪里呢?
經(jīng)過源碼分析,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)class_data_bits_t里面有個data方法,返回的class_rw_t是結(jié)構體類型。
class_rw_t* data() const {
return (class_rw_t *)(bits & FAST_DATA_MASK);
}
那么class_rw_t里面有什么呢?
struct class_rw_t {
const method_array_t methods() const {
auto v = get_ro_or_rwe();
if (v.is<class_rw_ext_t *>()) {
return v.get<class_rw_ext_t *>(&ro_or_rw_ext)->methods;
} else {
return method_array_t{v.get<const class_ro_t *>(&ro_or_rw_ext)->baseMethods()};
}
}
const property_array_t properties() const {
auto v = get_ro_or_rwe();
if (v.is<class_rw_ext_t *>()) {
return v.get<class_rw_ext_t *>(&ro_or_rw_ext)->properties;
} else {
return property_array_t{v.get<const class_ro_t *>(&ro_or_rw_ext)->baseProperties};
}
}
const protocol_array_t protocols() const {
auto v = get_ro_or_rwe();
if (v.is<class_rw_ext_t *>()) {
return v.get<class_rw_ext_t *>(&ro_or_rw_ext)->protocols;
} else {
return protocol_array_t{v.get<const class_ro_t *>(&ro_or_rw_ext)->baseProtocols};
}
}
//存儲成員變量,比如age
const class_ro_t *ro() const {
auto v = get_ro_or_rwe();
if (slowpath(v.is<class_rw_ext_t *>())) {
return v.get<class_rw_ext_t *>(&ro_or_rw_ext)->ro;
}
return v.get<const class_ro_t *>(&ro_or_rw_ext);
}
...//里面省略的包括一些copy之類的方法,這里不做研究
};
那么,method_array_t、property_array_t、protocol_array_t里面會不會存儲著我們定義的方法和成員變量呢?

至此,我們獲取到了- (void)playGuitar,同時還有name和height的set、get方法,但是我們并沒有看到+ (void)eatFood,為什么,+ (void)eatFood到底在哪里,最后探究。
補充: method_t和property_t調(diào)用get()分析
struct property_t {
const char *name;
const char *attributes; //這個里面有name和attributes可以輸出相關的信息
};
struct method_t { //這個里面什么都沒有,但是里面有一個big結(jié)構體,它的里面有信息??梢酝ㄟ^big()獲取

至此,我們從ivars獲取到了age,同時還有_name和_height。
由上面也可得出一個結(jié)論:property =ivar + get + set
