Hi everyone. I'm new to Objective-C but I've been working with C++ for
years. I'm trying to understand how the selector mechanism works.
So far it seems to me that SEL is simply a wrapper for 'const char*', Obj-C
compiler maintains a table of all method name - method function pointer
pairs and pick up one according to the object you passed to the call. (Sorry
for my C++ semasiology)

My hypothesis works well with method calls with no parameters. e.g. , you
cal write:

[myObj performSelector: (SEL)"someMethod"];

Though when it comes to method with parameters, it looks like a total
different story.

NSSelectorFromString(); works fine, but the approach above throws
exceptions.

Anyone knows why? Thanks.

Regards,
DairyKnight
