If the method satisfies the signature requirements of one of the -
performSelector:... methods (defined in the NSObject _protocol_),
then you can use those to side-step the compiler warning.
Right -- or you can declare the methods somewhere and then import them.
I would suggest looking at various patterns within the AppKit and
Foundation that do this kind of thing. In particular, anything that
implements a delegate of some kind will typically declare an informal
interface on NSObject like this:
@interface NSObject
(MyClassOptionalMethodsThatMightBeImplementedByJustAboutAnything)
- (void) someSpecial: (Sauce *) aSauce;
- (BOOL) isBobYourUncle: (Child *) aChild;
@end
As long as the header containing the above is imported, then
invocations of the methods declared will never generate a warning (as
long as said methods are implemented on a subclass of NSObject, anyway).
