Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Kind

enum clang::ObjCRuntime::Kind

The basic Objective-C runtimes that we know about.

Enumerator
MacOSX	'macosx' is the Apple-provided NeXT-derived runtime on Mac OS X platforms that use the non-fragile ABI; the version is a release of that OS.
FragileMacOSX	'macosx-fragile' is the Apple-provided NeXT-derived runtime on Mac OS X platforms that use the fragile ABI; the version is a release of that OS.
iOS	'ios' is the Apple-provided NeXT-derived runtime on iOS or the iOS simulator; it is always non-fragile. The version is a release version of iOS.
WatchOS	'watchos' is a variant of iOS for Apple's watchOS. The version is a release version of watchOS.
GCC	'gcc' is the Objective-C runtime shipped with GCC, implementing a fragile Objective-C ABI
GNUstep	'gnustep' is the modern non-fragile GNUstep runtime.
ObjFW	'objfw' is the Objective-C runtime included in ObjFW

◆ shouldUseARCFunctionsForRetainRelease()

bool clang::ObjCRuntime::shouldUseARCFunctionsForRetainRelease ( ) const

inline

Does this runtime provide ARC entrypoints that are likely to be faster than an ordinary message send of the appropriate selector?

The ARC entrypoints are guaranteed to be equivalent to just sending the corresponding message. If the entrypoint is implemented naively as just a message send, using it is a trade-off: it sacrifices a few cycles of overhead to save a small amount of code. However, it's possible for runtimes to detect and special-case classes that use "standard" retain/release behavior; if that's dynamically a large proportion of all retained objects, using the entrypoint will also be faster than using a message send.

When this method returns true, Clang will turn non-super message sends of certain selectors into calls to the correspond entrypoint: retain => objc_retain release => objc_release autorelease => objc_autorelease
