Hey, you know what *does* work? Going back to the original test:
MyBaseClass.h:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface MyBaseClass : NSObject
- (void)foo;
@end
MyBaseClass.m (initially):
@implementation MyBaseClass
- (void)foo {
fprintf(stderr, "BOOM!\n");
}
@end
App code:
import MyFramework
class MyClass: MyBaseClass {
@nonobjc func bar() {
print("BLEAH!")
}
}
let obj = MyClass()
obj.foo()
Output:
BOOM!
MyBaseClass.m changed to:
#import "MyBaseClass.h"
@implementation MyBaseClass
- (void)foo {
fprintf(stderr, "BOOM!\n");
[self bar];
}
- (void)bar {
fprintf(stderr, "It actually succeeded at Not Being Seen\n");
}
@end
Output without recompiling:
BOOM!
It actually succeeded at Not Being Seen
Output after recompiling the app:
BOOM!
It actually succeeded at Not Being Seen
And reverting MyBaseClass.m to the original and not recompiling the app:
BOOM!
So, if you declare all your new methods as @nonobjc and the base class remains
written in Objective-C, any new private method added to the base class will be
concealed extremely well.
However, we happen to know, it's in the water barrel. (“BOOM!”)
