Language bridging, perhaps. You can build up a class definition at run time, with all of its selectors registered to resolve to a single IMP function. That's how CamelBones registers Perl classes with the ObjC runtime, with messages sent to Perl methods (both class and instance) routed through one IMP function. sherm-- -- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://www.camelbones.org _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
