if you don't want to bother with the type string, just query it
using runtime functions:
And you want to add a class method, not an instance method. You have
to add this method to the 'PDFDocument class' meta-class.
Method originalMethod = class_getClassMethod([PDFDocument class],
@selector(allocWithZone:));
Method superMethod =
class_getClassMethod(class_getSuperclass([PDFDocument class]),
@selector(allocWithZone:));
Method replacedMethod = class_getClassMethod([PDFDocument class],
@selector(replacementAllocWithZone:));
if (superMethod == originalMethod) {

Thanks for supplying the last bits to the puzzle Jean-Daniel. Initial
testing seems to indicate the replacement is working. This is what I
have now:
Early during app startup is the code adding the replacement method to
the class, as quoted above.
In a category on PDFDocument is the replacement method itself, which
now reads:
@implementation PDFDocument (PDFDocument_Alloc)
+ (id)replacementAllocWithZone:(NSZone *)zone
{
if (self == [PDFDocument class]) {
return [ANPDFDocument replacementAllocWithZone:zone];
} else {
return [super allocWithZone:zone];
}
}
@end
Many thanks to both Bill and Jean-Daniel for helping me through this,
while pointing out the potential pit-falls. Here's to hoping an update
to Leopard will soon allow me to disable this unfortunate workaround
for it and future updates.
