objc庫中初始化方法如下
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();//初始化運行環(huán)境
tls_init();
static_init();//初始化靜態(tài)變量方法
runtime_init();//初始化運行時環(huán)境
exception_init();//初始化異常
cache_init();//初始化緩存
_imp_implementationWithBlock_init();
_dyld_objc_notify_register(&map_images, load_images, unmap_image);
#if __OBJC2__
didCallDyldNotifyRegister = true;
#endif
}
其中包含了一些列的初始化,以及image的映射和image的加載。
其中 _dyld_objc_notify_register(&map_images, load_images, unmap_image);是供dyld做回調(diào)使用,其中&map_images是方法是處理image的映射的,

_read_images的調(diào)用邏輯如下

最主要做了下面幾個事情
1 初始化
2 修正方法 Fix up @selector references
3 發(fā)現(xiàn)類Discover classes
4 修正消息發(fā)送相關(guān)fixupMessageRef
5 發(fā)現(xiàn)協(xié)議discover protocols
6 加載分類到類中
7 realize實現(xiàn)了load方法的類
8 輸出動態(tài)庫優(yōu)化的內(nèi)容
為什么要fix up呢?
在加載所有的動態(tài)鏈接庫之后,它們只是處在相互獨立的狀態(tài),需要將它們綁定起來,這就是 Fix-ups。代碼簽名使得我們不能修改指令,那樣就不能讓一個 dylib 的調(diào)用另一個 dylib。這時需要加很多間接層。
現(xiàn)代 code-gen 被叫做動態(tài) PIC(Position Independent Code),意味著代碼可以被加載到間接的地址上。當調(diào)用發(fā)生時,code-gen 實際上會在 __DATA 段中創(chuàng)建一個指向被調(diào)用者的指針,然后加載指針并跳轉(zhuǎn)過去。所以 dyld 做的事情就是修正(fix-up)指針和數(shù)據(jù)。Fix-up 有兩種類型,rebasing 和 binding。
Rebasing:在鏡像內(nèi)部調(diào)整指針的指向
Binding:將指針指向鏡像外部的內(nèi)容
簡而言之,fix up就是為了找到調(diào)整指針的指向,找到我們所需要的內(nèi)容。
discover class
#pragma mark 類
// Discover classes. Fix up unresolved future classes. Mark bundle classes.
bool hasDyldRoots = dyld_shared_cache_some_image_overridden();
for (EACH_HEADER) {
if (! mustReadClasses(hi, hasDyldRoots)) {
// Image is sufficiently optimized that we need not call readClass() 判斷是否需要執(zhí)行readclass()方法
continue;
}
classref_t const *classlist = _getObjc2ClassList(hi, &count);
bool headerIsBundle = hi->isBundle();
bool headerIsPreoptimized = hi->hasPreoptimizedClasses();
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
Class cls = (Class)classlist[i];
Class newCls = readClass(cls, headerIsBundle, headerIsPreoptimized);
if (newCls != cls && newCls) {
// Class was moved but not deleted. Currently this occurs
// only when the new class resolved a future class.
// Non-lazily realize the class below.
//如果readClass返回的結(jié)果不是原來的class,則將class放入帶解決的class列表
resolvedFutureClasses = (Class *)
realloc(resolvedFutureClasses,
(resolvedFutureClassCount+1) * sizeof(Class));
resolvedFutureClasses[resolvedFutureClassCount++] = newCls;//已解決的futurec class
}
}
}
判斷是否是動態(tài)庫的內(nèi)容,如果不是動態(tài)庫。則遍歷這個可執(zhí)行文件里的類。
load_images
load_images的實現(xiàn)如下
load_images(const char *path __unused, const struct mach_header *mh)
{
recursive_mutex_locker_t lock(loadMethodLock);
// Discover +load methods
prepare_load_methods((const headerType *)mh);
// Call +load methods (without classLock - re-entrant)
call_load_methods();
}
做了兩個事情
1 準備load方法prepare_load_methods()
2 執(zhí)行l(wèi)oad方法call_load_methods()
準備load方法prepare_load_methods
void prepare_load_methods(const headerType *mhdr)
{
size_t count, i;
runtimeLock.assertLocked();
classref_t const *classlist =
_getObjc2NonlazyClassList(mhdr, &count);//獲取有l(wèi)oad方法的類
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
//將實現(xiàn)了load方法的類放到loadable_classes數(shù)組中
schedule_class_load(remapClass(classlist[i]));
}
//將實現(xiàn)了load方法的分類放到loadable_categories數(shù)組中
category_t * const *categorylist = _getObjc2NonlazyCategoryList(mhdr, &count);
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
category_t *cat = categorylist[i];
Class cls = remapClass(cat->cls);
if (!cls) continue; // category for ignored weak-linked class//忽略弱連接的類
if (cls->isSwiftStable()) {//swfit 的extensions 和 catrogry不支持load方法
_objc_fatal("Swift class extensions and categories on Swift "
"classes are not allowed to have +load methods");
}
realizeClassWithoutSwift(cls, nil);
ASSERT(cls->ISA()->isRealized());
add_category_to_loadable_list(cat);
}
}
//將實現(xiàn)了load方法的類放到loadable_classes數(shù)組中
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 遞歸調(diào)用方法,確保父類的load優(yōu)先執(zhí)行
schedule_class_load(cls->superclass);
add_class_to_loadable_list(cls);
cls->setInfo(RW_LOADED);
}
prepare_load_methods方法主要是執(zhí)行了兩個事情
1 將實現(xiàn)了load方法的類放到loadable_classes數(shù)組中
2 將實現(xiàn)了load方法的分類放到loadable_categories數(shù)組中
_getObjc2NonlazyClassList返回的是image中帶有l(wèi)oad方法的class的數(shù)組,會按照編譯的順序添加到數(shù)組loadable_classes當中。
_getObjc2NonlazyCategoryList返回的是image中帶有l(wèi)oad方法的category的數(shù)組,會按照編譯的順序添加到數(shù)組loadable_categories當中。
一般來說,先編譯的class和category,其的load方法會先執(zhí)行
注意在prepare_load_methods()中調(diào)用schedule_class_load()方法,schedule_class_load()方法是一個遞歸調(diào)用,如果存在父類,則調(diào)用schedule_class_load()方法,這樣保證了實現(xiàn)了load的方法可以放在loadable_classes數(shù)組的前面,這樣也就保證了父類的load方法比子類的load方法優(yōu)先執(zhí)行
執(zhí)行l(wèi)oad方法call_load_methods()
call_load_methods()實現(xiàn)如下
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; //保證call_load_methods只執(zhí)行一次
loading = YES;
void *pool = objc_autoreleasePoolPush();//自動釋放池
do {
// 1. Repeatedly call class +loads until there aren't any more
//循環(huán)執(zhí)行類的load的方法
while (loadable_classes_used > 0) {
call_class_loads();
}
// 2. Call category +loads ONCE
//執(zhí)行完類的load方法后才cagetgory中的方法
//檢測是否有未執(zhí)行l(wèi)oad方法的category,如果有,則循環(huán)執(zhí)行
//為什么會有未執(zhí)行l(wèi)oad方法的category?因為category可能會引入別的有l(wèi)oad方法class,別的class的load要先執(zhí)行,category中的load要等待執(zhí)行
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;
}
可以看到,通過do while循環(huán)中確保所有的類和分類的load方法都被調(diào)用。
do while中優(yōu)先call_class_loads(),再執(zhí)行call_category_loads(),也就是說類的load方法比分類的load方法先執(zhí)行。
call_class_loads方法會從loadable_classes數(shù)組中找到對應(yīng)的類,并通過直接調(diào)用的方法,調(diào)用類的loadable_classes方法。
call_category_loads()方法會從loadable_categories中找到相應(yīng)的分類load方法。并調(diào)用load方法.
在前面可知,在類和分類的加載過程中,有三個結(jié)果
- 先編譯的class和category,其的load方法會先執(zhí)行
- 父類的load方法比子類的load方法優(yōu)先執(zhí)行
- 類的load方法比分類的load方法先執(zhí)行。
