Hi all,
How can I get the class of a method, at runtime?
I can get the name of the class methods via:
Method *methods =
class_copyMethodList(objc_getMetaClass([NSStringFromClass([self class])
UTF8String]), &methodCount);
for (int i = 0; i < methodCount; i++) {
Method method = methods[i];
NSString *methodName = NSStringFromSelector(method_getName(method));
And I can get the "returnType" via:
char *returnType = method_copyReturnType(method);
NSLog(@"The return type is %s", returnType);
However, the returnType is just a char that is set to "@" for all classes. I
want to know which class is returned.
References:
Apple's documentation on the Objective C runtime library:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ObjCRuntimeRef/index.html
This article points to some private methods in NSObject that will return the
full syntax of the method header, but is as clueless as I am as to how they get
the class:

Any introspective answers out there?
Thanks,
Tom
