Detailed Description

A class for introspecting classes.

Method Documentation

- (OFArray *) classMethods

Returns the class methods of the class.

Returns: An array of objects of class OFMethod

- (id) initWithClass: (Class) class_

Initializes an already allocated OFIntrospection with the specified class.

Returns: An initialized OFIntrospection

- (OFArray *) instanceMethods

Returns the instance methods of the class.

Returns: An array of objects of class OFMethod

- (OFArray *) instanceVariables

Returns the instance variables of the class.

Returns: An array of objects of class OFInstanceVariable

+ (instancetype) introspectionWithClass: (Class) class_

Creates a new introspection for the specified class.

Returns: A new, autoreleased introspection for the specified class

- (OFArray *) properties

Returns the properties of the class.

Warning: Do not rely on this, as this behaves differently depending on the compiler and ABI used!; For the ObjFW ABI, Clang only emits data for property introspection if @synthesize or @dynamic has been used on the property, not if the property has only been implemented by methods. Using @synthesize and manually implementing the methods works, though.; For the Apple ABI, Clang and GCC both emit data for property introspection for every property that has been declared using @property, even if no @synchronize or @dynamic has been used.; GCC does not emit any data for property introspection for the GNU ABI.

Returns: An array of objects of class OFProperty
