Hi,
I port the RuntimeBrowser
(http://www.prajnait.com/source/RuntimeBrowser.html)
to GNUstep in order to understand some details of objc-runtime.
Here is the port: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~yc2w/GNUstep/english/
It is not perfect in many places.
After the porting, I still have some questions about the runtime system
and hope someone can answer them.
Is the objc-runtime one per application ?
Or every application shares a single objc-runtime ?
In the later case, any application can get the classes of other
applicaions,
which is sort of weird and exposes some potential security problems.
If each application has its own objc-runtime,
is it possible that an application use NSBundle to load other applications
and get their classes from objc-runtime ?
RuntimeBrowser seems to do so, but doesn't work on FreeBSD
due to some memory problem.
I just wonder whether it is prohibited.
Thanx.
Have fun.
Yen-Ju
