浅谈runtime如何将mach-0文件里的内容加载到App内存里

1.1  程序在整个启动过程

程序在整个启动过程中会经过编译期和运行期,编译期又分为以下几个阶段 ：

environ_init();
tls_init();
static_init();
lock_init();
exception_init();

其中代码比较长,我们拿最主要的来看：

for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(Settings)/sizeof(Settings[0]); i++) {
            const option_t *opt = &Settings[i];            
            if (PrintHelp) _objc_inform("%s: %s", opt->env, opt->help);            if (PrintOptions && *opt->var) _objc_inform("%s is set", opt->env);
    }
    }

这里会将所有我们所有的系统环境配置给打印出来,我们来打印看下(截取一小部分)：

在这里面我们看到objc[38196]: OBJC_PRINT_LOAD_METHODS: log calls to class and category +load methods这个环境配置,既然是环境配置那我们就可以在我们的项目中添加项目配置方便我们平时开发调试,好 那我们一起来玩一下：Product -->Scheme --> Edit Scheme ：

把刚刚那个环境配置输入进去,再运行下程序看看系统控制台会输出什么东西：

原来这个环境set 可以输出所有实现load函数的类.其它的环境设置大家也可以自己试一下哈,在这里就不做赘述了.

tls_init();

对程序的线程初始化

static_init();

对程序的构析函数初始化

lock_init();

对程序的锁初始化

exception_init();

对程序的异常初始化,有的盆友会问到 程序还刚刚在加载到内存为啥就进行异常初始化，其实在这里在这里是对异常的监测,当程序崩溃时 在这里就会监测到.

一些程序配置完之后终于来到我们的主角,上面这些配置只是些开胃菜,

在这里面会有些算法 ,也有些条件判断的打印，_objc_inform(会在控制台打印),但我们最要探究的是如何读取镜像文件的,要这些运算、判断有啥用啊？所以这肯定不是重点代码呀，往下看----- >

这里面也是一系列的判断打印、其实就是苹果底层代码一些判断容错,和我们要探究的地方不在同一个点上 ,所以继续往下：

            bool isBundle = hi->isBundle();
            SEL *sels = _getObjc2SelectorRefs(hi, &count);
            UnfixedSelectors += count;
            for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                const char *name = sel_cname(sels[i]);
                sels[i] = sel_registerNameNoLock(name, isBundle);
            }
        }
    }
    ts.log("IMAGE TIMES: fix up selector references");

    // Fix up old objc_msgSend_fixup call sites
    for (EACH_HEADER) {
        message_ref_t *refs = _getObjc2MessageRefs(hi, &count);
        if (count == 0) continue;

        if (PrintVtables) {
            _objc_inform("VTABLES: repairing %zu unsupported vtable dispatch "
                         "call sites in %s", count, hi->fname());
        }
        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            fixupMessageRef(refs+i);
        }
    }
 
    ts.log("IMAGE TIMES: fix up objc_msgSend_fixup");

这一块主要是修复函数指针遗留.

接下来：

for (EACH_HEADER) {
        extern objc_class OBJC_CLASS_$_Protocol;
        Class cls = (Class)&OBJC_CLASS_$_Protocol;
        assert(cls);
        NXMapTable *protocol_map = protocols();
        bool isPreoptimized = hi->isPreoptimized();
        bool isBundle = hi->isBundle();

        protocol_t **protolist = _getObjc2ProtocolList(hi, &count);
        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            readProtocol(protolist[i], cls, protocol_map, 
                         isPreoptimized, isBundle);
        }
    }
    ts.log("IMAGE TIMES: discover protocols");

将所有Protocol都添加到protocol_map表中.(协议)

接下来：

 // Fix up @protocol references
    // Preoptimized images may have the right 
    // answer already but we don't know for sure.
    for (EACH_HEADER) {
        protocol_t **protolist = _getObjc2ProtocolRefs(hi, &count);
        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            remapProtocolRef(&protolist[i]);
        }
    }
    ts.log("IMAGE TIMES: fix up @protocol references");

对所有Protocol做重映射

接下来：

  // Realize non-lazy classes (for +load methods and static instances)
    for (EACH_HEADER) {
        classref_t *classlist = 
            _getObjc2NonlazyClassList(hi, &count);
        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            Class cls = remapClass(classlist[i]);
            if (!cls) continue;

            // hack for class __ARCLite__, which didn't get this above
#if TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR
            if (cls->cache._buckets == (void*)&_objc_empty_cache  &&  
                (cls->cache._mask  ||  cls->cache._occupied)) 
            {
                cls->cache._mask = 0;
                cls->cache._occupied = 0;
            }
            if (cls->ISA()->cache._buckets == (void*)&_objc_empty_cache  &&  
                (cls->ISA()->cache._mask  ||  cls->ISA()->cache._occupied)) 
            {
                cls->ISA()->cache._mask = 0;
                cls->ISA()->cache._occupied = 0;
            }
#endif
            
            addClassTableEntry(cls);

            if (cls->isSwiftStable()) {
                if (cls->swiftMetadataInitializer()) {
                    _objc_fatal("Swift class %s with a metadata initializer "
                                "is not allowed to be non-lazy",
                                cls->nameForLogging());
                }
                // fixme also disallow relocatable classes
                // We can't disallow all Swift classes because of
                // classes like Swift.__EmptyArrayStorage
            }
            realizeClassWithoutSwift(cls);
        }
    }
    ts.log("IMAGE TIMES: realize non-lazy classes")

这一步苹果的log是 realize non-lazy classes 也就是初始化懒加载的类.

既然在这里初始化懒加载类，那么类所对应的成员属性是不是在这里赋值呢？

我们针对这代码好好看一下：

   classref_t *classlist = 
            _getObjc2NonlazyClassList(hi, &count);
        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            Class cls = remapClass(classlist[i]);
            if (!cls) continue;

            // hack for class __ARCLite__, which didn't get this above
#if TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR
            if (cls->cache._buckets == (void*)&_objc_empty_cache  &&  
                (cls->cache._mask  ||  cls->cache._occupied)) 
            {
                cls->cache._mask = 0;
                cls->cache._occupied = 0;
            }
            if (cls->ISA()->cache._buckets == (void*)&_objc_empty_cache  &&  
                (cls->ISA()->cache._mask  ||  cls->ISA()->cache._occupied)) 
            {
                cls->ISA()->cache._mask = 0;
                cls->ISA()->cache._occupied = 0;
            }

这一部分是对类里的cache 里的_buckets、_mask、_occupied初始化,不是初始化类的代码

接着就走到了这里：

  realizeClassWithoutSwift(cls);

static Class realizeClassWithoutSwift(Class cls)
{
    runtimeLock.assertLocked();

    const class_ro_t *ro;
    class_rw_t *rw;

    if (!cls) return nil;
    if (cls->isRealized()) return cls;
    assert(cls == remapClass(cls));

    // fixme verify class is not in an un-dlopened part of the shared cache?

    ro = (const class_ro_t *)cls->data();
    if (ro->flags & RO_FUTURE) {
        // This was a future class. rw data is already allocated.
        rw = cls->data();
        ro = cls->data()->ro;
        cls->changeInfo(RW_REALIZED|RW_REALIZING, RW_FUTURE);
    } else {

        cls->setData(rw);
    }

    isMeta = ro->flags & RO_META;

    rw->version = isMeta ? 7 : 0;  // old runtime went up to 6


    // Choose an index for this class.

    cls->chooseClassArrayIndex();

    if (PrintConnecting) {
        _objc_inform("CLASS: realizing class '%s'%s %p %p #%u %s%s",
                     cls->nameForLogging(), isMeta ? " (meta)" : "", 
                     (void*)cls, ro, cls->classArrayIndex(),
                     cls->isSwiftStable() ? "(swift)" : "",
                     cls->isSwiftLegacy() ? "(pre-stable swift)" : "");
    }

    // Realize superclass and metaclass, if they aren't already.
    // This needs to be done after RW_REALIZED is set above, for root classes.
    // This needs to be done after class index is chosen, for root metaclasses.

    //   or that Swift's initializers have already been called.
    //   fixme that assumption will be wrong if we add support
    //   for ObjC subclasses of Swift classes.
    supercls = realizeClassWithoutSwift(remapClass(cls->superclass));
    metacls = realizeClassWithoutSwift(remapClass(cls->ISA()));

#if SUPPORT_NONPOINTER_ISA
    // Disable non-pointer isa for some classes and/or platforms.
    // Set instancesRequireRawIsa.
    bool instancesRequireRawIsa = cls->instancesRequireRawIsa();
    bool rawIsaIsInherited = false;
    static bool hackedDispatch = false;

    if (DisableNonpointerIsa) {
        // Non-pointer isa disabled by environment or app SDK version
        instancesRequireRawIsa = true;
    }
    else if (!hackedDispatch  &&  !(ro->flags & RO_META)  &&  
             0 == strcmp(ro->name, "OS_object")) 
    {
        // hack for libdispatch et al - isa also acts as vtable pointer
        hackedDispatch = true;
        instancesRequireRawIsa = true;
    }
    else if (supercls  &&  supercls->superclass  &&  
             supercls->instancesRequireRawIsa()) 
    {
        // This is also propagated by addSubclass() 
        // but nonpointer isa setup needs it earlier.
        // Special case: instancesRequireRawIsa does not propagate 
        // from root class to root metaclass
        instancesRequireRawIsa = true;
        rawIsaIsInherited = true;
    }
    
    if (instancesRequireRawIsa) {
        cls->setInstancesRequireRawIsa(rawIsaIsInherited);
    }
// SUPPORT_NONPOINTER_ISA
#endif

    // Update superclass and metaclass in case of remapping
    cls->superclass = supercls;
    cls->initClassIsa(metacls);

    // Reconcile instance variable offsets / layout.
    // This may reallocate class_ro_t, updating our ro variable.
    if (supercls  &&  !isMeta) reconcileInstanceVariables(cls, supercls, ro);

    // Set fastInstanceSize if it wasn't set already.
    cls->setInstanceSize(ro->instanceSize);

    // Copy some flags from ro to rw
    if (ro->flags & RO_HAS_CXX_STRUCTORS) {
        cls->setHasCxxDtor();
        if (! (ro->flags & RO_HAS_CXX_DTOR_ONLY)) {
            cls->setHasCxxCtor();
        }
    }
    
    // Propagate the associated objects forbidden flag from ro or from
    // the superclass.
    if ((ro->flags & RO_FORBIDS_ASSOCIATED_OBJECTS) ||
        (supercls && supercls->forbidsAssociatedObjects()))
    {
        rw->flags |= RW_FORBIDS_ASSOCIATED_OBJECTS;
    }

    // Connect this class to its superclass's subclass lists
    if (supercls) {
        addSubclass(supercls, cls);
    } else {
        addRootClass(cls);
    }

    // Attach categories
    methodizeClass(cls);

    return cls;
}

把代码删减一下如下：

static Class realizeClassWithoutSwift(Class cls)
{
    runtimeLock.assertLocked();

    const class_ro_t *ro;
    class_rw_t *rw;
    Class supercls;
    Class metacls;
    bool isMeta;

    if (!cls) return nil;
    if (cls->isRealized()) return cls;
    assert(cls == remapClass(cls));

    // fixme verify class is not in an un-dlopened part of the shared cache?

    ro = (const class_ro_t *)cls->data();
    if (ro->flags & RO_FUTURE) {
        // This was a future class. rw data is already allocated.
        rw = cls->data();
        ro = cls->data()->ro;
        cls->changeInfo(RW_REALIZED|RW_REALIZING, RW_FUTURE);
    } else {
        // Normal class. Allocate writeable class data.
        rw = (class_rw_t *)calloc(sizeof(class_rw_t), 1);
        rw->ro = ro;
        rw->flags = RW_REALIZED|RW_REALIZING;
        cls->setData(rw);
    }
 // Update superclass and metaclass in case of remapping
    cls->superclass = supercls;
    cls->initClassIsa(metacls);

    // Reconcile instance variable offsets / layout.
    // This may reallocate class_ro_t, updating our ro variable.
    if (supercls  &&  !isMeta) reconcileInstanceVariables(cls, supercls, ro);

    // Set fastInstanceSize if it wasn't set already.
    cls->setInstanceSize(ro->instanceSize);

    // Copy some flags from ro to rw
    if (ro->flags & RO_HAS_CXX_STRUCTORS) {
        cls->setHasCxxDtor();
        if (! (ro->flags & RO_HAS_CXX_DTOR_ONLY)) {
            cls->setHasCxxCtor();
        }
    }
    
    // Propagate the associated objects forbidden flag from ro or from
    // the superclass.
    if ((ro->flags & RO_FORBIDS_ASSOCIATED_OBJECTS) ||
        (supercls && supercls->forbidsAssociatedObjects()))
    {
        rw->flags |= RW_FORBIDS_ASSOCIATED_OBJECTS;
    }

    // Connect this class to its superclass's subclass lists
    if (supercls) {
        addSubclass(supercls, cls);
    } else {
        addRootClass(cls);
    }

    // Attach categories
    methodizeClass(cls);
    return cls;

原来是在这里面进行了rw的赋值：

 rw = (class_rw_t *)calloc(sizeof(class_rw_t), 1);
        rw->ro = ro;
        rw->flags = RW_REALIZED|RW_REALIZING;
        cls->setData(rw);

递归找类的父类、类的元类 (就是把类的所有父类、元类的所有父类都找到): 

当 if (!cls) return nil;

   supercls = realizeClassWithoutSwift(remapClass(cls->superclass));
    metacls = realizeClassWithoutSwift(remapClass(cls->ISA()));

并且对类的ISA和superClass 进行赋值：

  cls->superclass = supercls;
  cls->initClassIsa(metacls);

并且进行双向绑定（父类也和子类绑下关系）：

if (supercls) {
        addSubclass(supercls, cls);
    } else {
        addRootClass(cls);
    }

最后：  

 methodizeClass(cls);

看下代码实现：

static void methodizeClass(Class cls)
{
    runtimeLock.assertLocked();

    bool isMeta = cls->isMetaClass();
    auto rw = cls->data();
    auto ro = rw->ro;

    // Methodizing for the first time
    if (PrintConnecting) {
        _objc_inform("CLASS: methodizing class '%s' %s", 
                     cls->nameForLogging(), isMeta ? "(meta)" : "");
    }

    // Install methods and properties that the class implements itself.
    method_list_t *list = ro->baseMethods();
    if (list) {
        prepareMethodLists(cls, &list, 1, YES, isBundleClass(cls));
        rw->methods.attachLists(&list, 1);
    }

    property_list_t *proplist = ro->baseProperties;
    if (proplist) {
        rw->properties.attachLists(&proplist, 1);
    }

    protocol_list_t *protolist = ro->baseProtocols;
    if (protolist) {
        rw->protocols.attachLists(&protolist, 1);
    }

    // Root classes get bonus method implementations if they don't have 
    // them already. These apply before category replacements.
    if (cls->isRootMetaclass()) {
        // root metaclass
        addMethod(cls, SEL_initialize, (IMP)&objc_noop_imp, "", NO);
    }

    // Attach categories.
    category_list *cats = unattachedCategoriesForClass(cls, true /*realizing*/);
    attachCategories(cls, cats, false /*don't flush caches*/);

    if (PrintConnecting) {
        if (cats) {
            for (uint32_t i = 0; i < cats->count; i++) {
                _objc_inform("CLASS: attached category %c%s(%s)", 
                             isMeta ? '+' : '-', 
                             cls->nameForLogging(), cats->list[i].cat->name);
            }
        }
    }
    
    if (cats) free(cats);

#if DEBUG
    // Debug: sanity-check all SELs; log method list contents
    for (const auto& meth : rw->methods) {
        if (PrintConnecting) {
            _objc_inform("METHOD %c[%s %s]", isMeta ? '+' : '-', 
                         cls->nameForLogging(), sel_getName(meth.name));
        }
        assert(sel_registerName(sel_getName(meth.name)) == meth.name); 
    }
#endif
}

挑出最重要的代码：

  // Install methods and properties that the class implements itself.
    method_list_t *list = ro->baseMethods();
    if (list) {
        prepareMethodLists(cls, &list, 1, YES, isBundleClass(cls));
        rw->methods.attachLists(&list, 1);
    }

    property_list_t *proplist = ro->baseProperties;
    if (proplist) {
        rw->properties.attachLists(&proplist, 1);
    }

    protocol_list_t *protolist = ro->baseProtocols;
    if (protolist) {
        rw->protocols.attachLists(&protolist, 1);
    }

    // Root classes get bonus method implementations if they don't have 
    // them already. These apply before category replacements.
    if (cls->isRootMetaclass()) {
        // root metaclass
        addMethod(cls, SEL_initialize, (IMP)&objc_noop_imp, "", NO);
    }

原来在这里是对ro 里的methods、proplist、protolist 添加到rw里. 所有的一切都是那么亲切且真实。

好的，我们返回_read_images 还有几个方法没有走完哈.

加载非懒加载类之后：

 // Realize newly-resolved future classes, in case CF manipulates them
    if (resolvedFutureClasses) {
        for (i = 0; i < resolvedFutureClassCount; i++) {
            Class cls = resolvedFutureClasses[i];
            if (cls->isSwiftStable()) {
                _objc_fatal("Swift class is not allowed to be future");
            }
            realizeClassWithoutSwift(cls);
            cls->setInstancesRequireRawIsa(false/*inherited*/);
        }
        free(resolvedFutureClasses);
    }    

    ts.log("IMAGE TIMES: realize future classes");

遍历已标记的懒加载的类，并做初始化操作

接下来：

  // Discover categories. 
    for (EACH_HEADER) {
        category_t **catlist = 
            _getObjc2CategoryList(hi, &count);

        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            category_t *cat = catlist[i];
            Class cls = remapClass(cat->cls);

            if (!cls) {

                catlist[i] = nil;
                if (PrintConnecting) {
                    _objc_inform("CLASS: IGNORING category \?\?\?(%s) %p with "
                                 "missing weak-linked target class", 
                                 cat->name, cat);
                }
                continue;

            // Process this category.

            bool classExists = NO;
            if (cat->instanceMethods ||  cat->protocols  
                ||  cat->instanceProperties) 
            {

                    classExists = YES;
                }
                if (PrintConnecting) {

                                 classExists ? "on existing class" : "");
                }
            }

            if (cat->classMethods  ||  cat->protocols  
                ||  (hasClassProperties && cat->_classProperties)) 
            {

                if (cls->ISA()->isRealized()) {
                    remethodizeClass(cls->ISA());
                }

                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    ts.log("IMAGE TIMES: discover categories");

处理所有Category，包括Class和Meta Class

至此、mach-o里的数据段映射到内存的过程基本算完毕.

四. 思维发散

4.1 系统在运行时阶段为何要讲ro 里的内容复制给 rw.不是多此一举吗？直接操作ro不就可以了吗？

首先苹果是门动态语言,分为编译时和运行时,ro是编译时就确定好的 写在了mach-o文件里的数据段上,等于是不变的了.并且ro(readonly)是只读的，操作起来会有限制. 比如我想在运行时动态添加方法、属性、协议怎么办,只有ro 复制 一份 给rw 上，rw具有（readwrite）读写的特性，把这些方法、属性、协议 添加到rw 上.

五.总结

   mach-o文件加载到内存，读取镜像_read_images会经过以下几个过程：
