2NSWhat?

"Many of those strange primitive wrapper classes, like Integer and Number came from Lee Boynton, one of the early NeXT Obj-C class library guys who hated 'int' and 'float' types."

Patrick Naughton (one of the original creators of Java)

But... If I can use C++ then I can use operator overloading

to add that to Objective-C, right?

4Why C?

"Objective-C is a hybrid programming language[…]formed by grafting the Smalltalk-80 style of object-oriented programming onto a C language rootstock. Objective-C adds precisely one new data type, the object[...]and precisely one new operation, the message expression. "

Cox, Brad J. (1991). Object Oriented Programming: An Evolutionary Approach

4The Object

typedef struct objc_object { Class isa;} *id;

typedef struct objc_class *Class;

objc.h

struct objc_class { Class isa;};

runtime.h

4CF

Core Foundation is a library with a set of programming interfaces conceptually derived from the Objective-C-based Foundation framework but implemented in the C language. To do this, Core Foundation implements a limited object model in C. Core Foundation defines opaque types that encapsulate data and functions, hereafter referred to as “objects.”

5Get it

//get the block as a parameter- (int)operationWithArg1:(int)i arg2:(int)j block:(int (^)(int, int))aBlock { return aBlock(i,j);}

5Blocks &

Memory

“If you are using ARC, object variables are retained and released automatically as the block is copied and later

released.”

“If you use a block within the implementation of a method [...] If you access an instance variable by reference,

self is retained; If you access an instance variable by value, the variable is retained.”

“When you copy a stack-based block, you get a new block. If you copy a heap-based block, however, you

simply increment the retain count of that block and get it back as the returned value of the copy function or

method.”
