In short, method look-up depends on order of methods (so deleting a method breaks calls to all methods below it) and it suffers the fragile base class problem both for instance variables *and* methods. With the classic runtime, ObjC only had fragile base classes for ivars, since method lookup goes by SEL. With the modern runtime (iOS or Mac-64-bit), not even that anymore. -- Uli Kusterer "The Witnesses of TeachText are everywhere..." _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
