Given an object, and a method within, is there some way to get the name of
the class of the object as an NSString?
For that matter, what I want to do is something like this:
Class MyClass
"MyClass.h"
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface MyClass : NSObject
...
-(void)myMethod;
@end
"MyClass.m"
#import "MyClass.h"
@implementation MyClass
...
-(void)myMethod
{
NSString *myClassName = ???; // What can I put here besides a literal
@"MyClass"?
NSString *fooText = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<%@> -(void)myMethod",
myClassName];
NSLog(fooText); // Yellow triangle on this line
}
...
@end
so that when the myMethod message is sent to an object of MyClass, the output
should be:
<<timestamp>>: <MyClass> -(void)myMethod
on the output pane when debugging - "<<timestamp>>" just comes from the NSLog
call.
Also, when I do this (using a literal NSString constant for myClassName
above), Xcode marks the line with NSLog with a yellow triangle, and disclosing
it says something about passing an NSString instance as being "unsecure". Can
this warning be turned off? It seems silly to do:
NSLog(@"%@", fooText);
just to avoid this warning.
By using this strategy, if several classes implement the same message, I can
tell which instance received the message during debugging; this is handy when
iterating over containers (such as NSArray), and passing the same message to
multiple objects, or when passing messages to objects of subclasses that
override the behavior of their super.
TIA!
