I have a category that I import in a .m thusly:
#import "UIView+Additions.h"
If I forget to add UIView+Additions.m
to my target, I won't know until runtime when the runtime can't find my selector. Is there a way to find out at compile time (or probably link time) that I forgot to include a category's implemtation?
This macro works!
#ifndef HJBObjCCategory_h
#define HJBObjCCategory_h
#define HJBObjCCategoryInterface( c , n ) \
\
extern int c##n##Canary; \
\
__attribute__((constructor)) static void c##n##CanaryCage() { \
c##n##Canary = 0; \
} \
\
@interface c (n)
#define HJBObjCCategoryImplementation( c , n ) \
\
int c##n##Canary = 0; \
\
@implementation c ( n )
#endif
Use it like this:
UIView+Additions.h
HJBObjCCategoryInterface(UIView, Additions)
- (void)hjb_foo;
@end
UIView+Additions.m
HJBObjCCategoryImplementation(UIView, Additions)
- (void)hjb_foo {
NSLog(@"foo!");
}
@end
