Oh neat, this is basically non-virtual methods for Objective-C. Useful for optimization of internal methods — not just because the call is faster, but because the method body is now inlineable. I remember talk of this inside Apple way back when (early 2000s) but at the time IIRC it was considered too dangerous to be worth the performance gain. These days it's probably even more of a win because of LTO. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
