Re: dynamically instantiating a class

[Erik M. Buck]

Try the following:

clazz = NSClassFromString ( @"Platform" );
p = (id <PeerGroup>) [[clazz alloc] init];
if ( [p conformsTo:@protocol(PeerGroup)] )
   NSLog ( @"Yes, this is indeed a PeerGroup" );
else
   NSLog ( @"No, this isn't a PeerGroup" );

If you MUST use NSAllocateObject() the write
p = (id <PeerGroup>) NSAllocateObject( clazz, 0, NULL);  // DO NOT
DEREFERNCE THE clazz variable

Subject: dynamically instantiating a class


I'm trying to dynamically instantiate a class like so:

Class * clazz;
id <PeerGroup> p;

clazz = NSClassFromString ( @"Platform" );
p = (id <PeerGroup>) NSAllocateObject( *clazz, 0, NULL);
if ( [p conformsTo:@protocol(PeerGroup)] )
   NSLog ( @"Yes, this is indeed a PeerGroup" );
else
   NSLog ( @"No, this isn't a PeerGroup" );

Guess the result...

What's wrong ?
