关联对象

• 提供了三个方法，分别是get、set、remove

void objc_setAssociatedObject(id object, const void *key, id value, objc_AssociationPolicy policy);
id objc_getAssociatedObject(id object, const void *key);
void objc_removeAssociatedObjects(id object);

源码

• 获取

id _object_get_associative_reference(id object, void *key) {
    id value = nil;
    uintptr_t policy = OBJC_ASSOCIATION_ASSIGN;
    {
        AssociationsManager manager;
        AssociationsHashMap &associations(manager.associations());
        disguised_ptr_t disguised_object = DISGUISE(object);
        AssociationsHashMap::iterator i = associations.find(disguised_object);
        if (i != associations.end()) {
            ObjectAssociationMap *refs = i->second;
            ObjectAssociationMap::iterator j = refs->find(key);
            if (j != refs->end()) {
                ObjcAssociation &entry = j->second;
                value = entry.value();
                policy = entry.policy();
                if (policy & OBJC_ASSOCIATION_GETTER_RETAIN) ((id(*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)(value, SEL_retain);
            }
        }
    }
    if (value && (policy & OBJC_ASSOCIATION_GETTER_AUTORELEASE)) {
        ((id(*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)(value, SEL_autorelease);
    }
    return value;
}

• 设置

void _object_set_associative_reference(id object, void *key, id value, uintptr_t policy) {
    // retain the new value (if any) outside the lock.
    ObjcAssociation old_association(0, nil);
    id new_value = value ? acquireValue(value, policy) : nil;
    {
        AssociationsManager manager;
        AssociationsHashMap &associations(manager.associations());
        disguised_ptr_t disguised_object = DISGUISE(object);
        if (new_value) {
            // break any existing association.
            AssociationsHashMap::iterator i = associations.find(disguised_object);
            if (i != associations.end()) {
                // secondary table exists
                ObjectAssociationMap *refs = i->second;
                ObjectAssociationMap::iterator j = refs->find(key);
                if (j != refs->end()) {
                    old_association = j->second;
                    j->second = ObjcAssociation(policy, new_value);
                } else {
                    (*refs)[key] = ObjcAssociation(policy, new_value);
                }
            } else {
                // create the new association (first time).
                ObjectAssociationMap *refs = new ObjectAssociationMap;
                associations[disguised_object] = refs;
                (*refs)[key] = ObjcAssociation(policy, new_value);
                object->setHasAssociatedObjects();
            }
        } else {
            // setting the association to nil breaks the association.
            AssociationsHashMap::iterator i = associations.find(disguised_object);
            if (i !=  associations.end()) {
                ObjectAssociationMap *refs = i->second;
                ObjectAssociationMap::iterator j = refs->find(key);
                if (j != refs->end()) {
                    old_association = j->second;
                    refs->erase(j);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    // release the old value (outside of the lock).
    if (old_association.hasValue()) ReleaseValue()(old_association);
}

• 释放

id 
object_dispose(id obj)
{
    if (!obj) return nil;

    objc_destructInstance(obj);

    free(obj);

    return nil;
}

void *objc_destructInstance(id obj) 
{
    if (obj) {
        // Read all of the flags at once for performance.
        bool cxx = obj->hasCxxDtor();
        bool assoc = !UseGC && obj->hasAssociatedObjects();
        bool dealloc = !UseGC;

        // This order is important.
        if (cxx) object_cxxDestruct(obj);
        if (assoc) _object_remove_assocations(obj);
        if (dealloc) obj->clearDeallocating();
    }

    return obj;
}

void _object_remove_assocations(id object) {
    vector< ObjcAssociation,ObjcAllocator<ObjcAssociation> > elements;
    {
        AssociationsManager manager;
        AssociationsHashMap &associations(manager.associations());
        if (associations.size() == 0) return;
        disguised_ptr_t disguised_object = DISGUISE(object);
        AssociationsHashMap::iterator i = associations.find(disguised_object);
        if (i != associations.end()) {
            // copy all of the associations that need to be removed.
            ObjectAssociationMap *refs = i->second;
            for (ObjectAssociationMap::iterator j = refs->begin(), end = refs->end(); j != end; ++j) {
                elements.push_back(j->second);
            }
            // remove the secondary table.
            delete refs;
            associations.erase(i);
        }
    }
    // the calls to releaseValue() happen outside of the lock.
    for_each(elements.begin(), elements.end(), ReleaseValue());
}
