Categary 分类实现原理
1. 分类和类定义相同的方法，会不会覆盖类方法：
#import "FXPerson.h"
@implementation FXPerson
- (void)walk{
NSLog(@"person walk");
}
@end
#import "FXPerson+something.h"
@implementation FXPerson (something)
-(void)walk{
NSLog(@"category walk");
}
@end
只调用了分类的方法，表面上看是覆盖了类方法，打印所有类方法
#pragma mark - 遍历方法
- (void)printMethodNamesOfClass:(Class)cls
{
unsigned int count;
// 获得方法数组
Method *methodList = class_copyMethodList(cls, &count);
// 存储方法名
NSMutableString *methodNames = [NSMutableString string];
// 遍历所有的方法
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
// 获得方法
Method method = methodList[i];
// 获得方法名
NSString *methodName = NSStringFromSelector(method_getName(method));
// 拼接方法名
[methodNames appendString:methodName];
[methodNames appendString:@", "];
}
// 释放
free(methodList);
// 打印方法名
NSLog(@"%@ - %@", cls, methodNames);
}
打印了两个walk，所以并没有覆盖原来类的walk，这是后需要看源码来拨开云雾见青天，搜索objc_init()（万物之始）:
查看分类的方法是如何被加载的：
void _objc_init(void)
{
static bool initialized = false;
if (initialized) return;
initialized = true;
// fixme defer initialization until an objc-using image is found?
environ_init();
tls_init();
static_init();
lock_init();
exception_init();
_dyld_objc_notify_register(&map_images, load_images, unmap_image);
}
init方法里面包含所有的镜像加载，在我们的APP包里面有一个可执行文件，使用MachOView软件可以查看镜像

if (oldList) array()->lists[addedCount] = oldList;
memcpy(array()->lists, addedLists,
addedCount * sizeof(array()->lists[0]));
}
}
重点：
uint32_t oldCount = array()->count;
uint32_t newCount = oldCount + addedCount;
setArray((array_t *)realloc(array(), array_t::byteSize(newCount)));
array()->count = newCount;
memmove(array()->lists + addedCount, array()->lists,
oldCount * sizeof(array()->lists[0]));
memcpy(array()->lists, addedLists,
addedCount * sizeof(array()->lists[0]));简单说下完成的内容：
简单说下完成的内容：
重新分配array()内存大小为新数组加老数组个数，memmove函数吧老的数据放到array()的从addedCount位置开始到末尾，把addedLists放到了前面从0开始到addedCount。(关于memmove与memcpy请查看我的博客 C语言memmove()函数：复制内存内容（可以处理重叠的内存块）)
所以解释了开始的时候打印了两个walk，并且先打印分类的walk。
1. 分类有两个和类相同的方法时，为什么在加载分类的方法列表的时候什么不按顺序依次加载 ？
attach是for循环遍历的中间会添加和删除，而且方法列表是一个哈希表，并不是一个有序的列表，去取值的 时候也是根据LLVM随机取值。只需要保证相同方法名分类的在类的前面
2. 如果分类有的方法，原来没有，那么会把分类的方法放到后面，为什么这样做：
个人认为就是时间空间复杂度的问题，如果吧一个新的变量放到内存前面，那么原来的东西内存地址都要往后面移动，但是如果放到后面，就只需要添加自己，不需要影响任何东西。
