swift 与 NSObject

以NSObject为基类，只是为了提供Objective-C API的使用入口；

经由@object修改的对象，是这些api的参量。

NSObject是swift与oc特有机制沟通的桥梁。

 

Subclassing NSObject in Swift gets you Objective-C runtime flexibility but also Objective-C performance. Avoiding NSObject can improve performance if you don't need Objective-C's flexibility.

Before Swift 4

For example, if one subclassed from NSObject, the compiler created Objective-C entry points for all methods in such classes. The mechanism is called @objc inference.

Swift classes that are subclasses of NSObject:

• are Objective-C classes themselves
• use objc_msgSend() for calls to (most of) their methods
• provide Objective-C runtime metadata for (most of) their method implementations

Some Objective-C APIs—like target-action—accept method or property names as parameters, then use those names to dynamically call or access the methods or properties.
