Does the id type have enough information for the respondsToSelector
method to work. I have a class with an ivar of type id, and when I
invoke the respondsToSelector method it fails when it should
succeed. I am assuming it should work fine, because if I skip
checking with the respondsToSelector method and just make the call,
it executes the method. Can someone please tell me what I am doing
wrong?
It should work just fine. This example...
NSArray* theArray = [NSArray array];
id theId = theArray;
id<NSCopying>* theCopyingId = (id<NSCopying>*) theArray;
if ([theArray respondsToSelector:@selector(isEqualToArray:)]) {
NSLog(@"theArray responds to isEqualToArray:");
} else {
NSLog(@"theArray DOES NOT respond to isEqualToArray:");
}
if ([theId respondsToSelector:@selector(isEqualToArray:)]) {
NSLog(@"theId responds to isEqualToArray:");
} else {
NSLog(@"theId DOES NOT respond to isEqualToArray:");
}
if ([(id) theCopyingId respondsToSelector:@selector(isEqualToArray:)]) {
NSLog(@"theCopyingId responds to isEqualToArray:");
} else {
NSLog(@"theCopyingId DOES NOT respond to isEqualToArray:");
}
...displays this output:
theArray responds to isEqualToArray:
theId responds to isEqualToArray:
theCopyingId responds to isEqualToArray:
Note that special casting done to remove warnings. However, without
the casting, output was the same.
