ios NSMethodSignature and NSInvocation 消息转发

1.首先获取消息转发时连个函数内部具体内容 MARK：这里是拿[@"xxxxx" length]调用拿来举例说明

(lldb) po signature

<NSMethodSignature: 0x170076f80>

    number of arguments =

    frame size =

    is special struct return? NO

    return value: -------- -------- -------- --------

        type encoding (Q) 'Q'

        flags {}

        modifiers {}

        frame {offset = , offset adjust = , size = , size adjust = }

        memory {offset = , size = }

    argument : -------- -------- -------- --------

        type encoding (@) '@'

        flags {isObject}

        modifiers {}

        frame {offset = , offset adjust = , size = , size adjust = }

        memory {offset = , size = }

    argument : -------- -------- -------- --------

        type encoding (:) ':'

        flags {}

        modifiers {}

        frame {offset = , offset adjust = , size = , size adjust = }

        memory {offset = , size = }

(lldb) po anInvocation

<NSInvocation: 0x178075d80>

return value: {Q}

target: {@} 0x17801e350

selector: {:} length

2. 具体案例：json解析数据时 NSJSONSerialization 会自动把他们换成 NSNull。当我们再去用dict[@“hello”]的时候，就会出触发exception，导致程序崩溃（ios6会出现）

两种实现：

第一种：

#import "NSNull+OVNatural.h"

@implementation NSNull (OVNatural)

- (void)forwardInvocation:(NSInvocation *)invocation

{

    if ([self respondsToSelector:[invocation selector]]) {

        [invocation invokeWithTarget:self];

    }

}

- (NSMethodSignature *)methodSignatureForSelector:(SEL)selector

{

    NSMethodSignature *sig = [[NSNull class] instanceMethodSignatureForSelector:selector];

    if(sig == nil) {

        sig = [NSMethodSignature signatureWithObjCTypes:"@^v^c"];

    }

    return sig;

}

@end 

第二种：

#define NSNullObjects @[@"",@0,@{},@[]]

@interface NSNull (InternalNullExtention)

@end

@implementation NSNull (InternalNullExtention)

- (NSMethodSignature*)methodSignatureForSelector:(SEL)selector

{

    NSMethodSignature* signature = [super methodSignatureForSelector:selector];

    if (!signature) {

        for (NSObject *object in NSNullObjects) {

            signature = [object methodSignatureForSelector:selector];

            if (signature) {

                break;

            }

        }

    }

    return signature;

}

- (void)forwardInvocation:(NSInvocation *)anInvocation

{

    SEL aSelector = [anInvocation selector];

    for (NSObject *object in NSNullObjects) {

        if ([object respondsToSelector:aSelector]) {

            [anInvocation invokeWithTarget:object];

            return;

        }

    }

    [self doesNotRecognizeSelector:aSelector];

}

@end 

- (void)forwardInvocation:(NSInvocation *)anInvocation  只需改变调用目标，使消息在新目标上得以调用即可。然而这样实现出来的方法与“备援接收者”方案所实现的方法等效，所以很少有人采用这么简单的实现方式。比较有用的实现方式为：在触发消息前，先以某种方式改变消息内容，比如追加另外一个参数。

实现此方法时，若发现某调用操作不应由本类处理，则需调用超类的同名方法。这样的话，继承体系中的每个类都有机会处理此调用请求，直至NSObject。如果最后调用了NSObject类的方法，那么该方法还会继而调用“doesNotRecognizeSelector:”以抛出异常，此异常表明选择子最终未能得到处理。
