Global Functions and Macros

Macros

mulle_metaabi_struct

mulle_metaabi_struct( param_type, rval_type)

To construct a properly sized meta-ABI parameter block, you should use this macro.

Example:

Construct a struct from your parameters. Use the meta-ABI rules as explained in mulle-objc: a meta calling convention and do not forget the C argument promotions.

Here is an example how to construct a call to - (long long) fooWithA:(double) a b:(double) b:

   mulle_metaabi_struct( struct { double a; double b;}, long long)  _param;

   _param.p.a = 18.0;
   _param.p.b = 0.48;

   mulle_objc_object_call( self, 0xc2d87842, &_param);

   return( _param.r)

mulle_metaabi_struct_void_return

mulle_metaabi_struct_void_return( param_type)

This is a simplified version of mulle_metaabi_struct, if the return value is void.

ID Functions

mulle_objc_classid_from_string

mulle_objc_classid_t   mulle_objc_classid_from_string( char *s)

Compute the classid from ASCII string s. Will return MULLE_OBJC_NO_CLASSID if s is NULL.

mulle_objc_propertyid_from_string

mulle_objc_propertyid_t   mulle_objc_propertyid_from_string( char *s)

Compute the propertyid from ASCII string s. Will return MULLE_OBJC_NO_PROPERTYID if s is NULL.

mulle_objc_ivarid_from_string

mulle_objc_ivarid_t   mulle_objc_ivarid_t( char *s)

Compute the ivarid from ASCII string s. Will return MULLE_OBJC_NO_IVARID if s is NULL.

mulle_objc_methodid_from_string

mulle_objc_methodid_t   mulle_objc_methodid_from_string( char *s)

Compute the methodid from ASCII string s. Will return MULLE_OBJC_NO_METHODID if s is NULL.

mulle_objc_protocolid_from_string

mulle_objc_protocolid_t   mulle_objc_protocolid_from_string( char *s)

Compute the protocolid from ASCII string s. Will return MULLE_OBJC_NO_PROTOCOLID if s is NULL.

Thread Functions

If your thread wants to acces the mulle-runtime (except the thread you initialized the runtime with), you must call mulle_objc_thread_register first. You should periodically call mulle_objc_thread_checkin to progress the internal garbage collection of the runtime. At the end of the thread you must call mulle_objc_thread_deregister.

mulle_objc_thread_register

void   mulle_objc_thread_register( mulle_objc_universeid_t universeid)

Register the current thread in the global runtime. If you are using multiple runtimes, check the source code for more details.

mulle_objc_thread_deregister

void   mulle_objc_thread_deregister( mulle_objc_universeid_t universeid)

Unregister the current thread from the global runtime. Do not access the runtime or any of its classes or objects afterwards.

mulle_objc_thread_checkin

void   mulle_objc_thread_checkin( mulle_objc_universeid_t universeid)

Check in the current thread. Failing to do this often enough can result in bloat of the app.
