問題：
Person里有一個(gè)-(void)walk方法，在其分類里重寫這個(gè)walk方法况凉，會(huì)不會(huì)覆蓋掉原本類的方法？
先看代碼
Person.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN
@interface Person : NSObject{
    @public
    NSString *myName;
}
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *namep;
- (void)walk;
+ (void)study;
- (void)t1;
@end
NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

Person.m

#import "Person.h"
@implementation Person
- (void)walk{
    NSLog(@"%s",__func__);
}
+ (void)study{
    NSLog(@"%s",__func__);
}
- (void)t1{
    NSLog(@"%s",__func__);
}
@end

Person+Something.h

#import "Person.h"
NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN
@interface Person (Something)
- (void)walk;
- (void)run;
+ (void)eat;
@end
NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

Person+Something.m

#import "Person+Something.h"
@implementation Person (Something)
- (void)walk{
    NSLog(@"%s",__func__);
}
- (void)run{
    NSLog(@"%s",__func__);
}
+ (void)eat{
    NSLog(@"%s",__func__);
}
@end

ViewController.m

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    Person *p = [Person new];
    [p walk];
    [self printMethodNamesOfClass:[Person class]];
}

#pragma mark - 遍歷方法
- (void)printMethodNamesOfClass:(Class)cls {
    unsigned int count;
    // 獲得方法數(shù)組
    Method *methodList = class_copyMethodList(cls, &count);
    // 存儲(chǔ)方法名
    NSMutableString *methodNames = [NSMutableString string];
    // 遍歷所有的方法
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        // 獲得方法
        Method method = methodList[i];
        // 獲得方法名
        NSString *methodName = NSStringFromSelector(method_getName(method));
        // 拼接方法名
        [methodNames appendString:methodName];
        [methodNames appendString:@", "];
    }
    // 釋放
    free(methodList);
    // 打印方法名
    NSLog(@"%@ - %@", cls, methodNames);
}

運(yùn)行打印結(jié)果：

-[Person(Something) walk]
Person - walk, walk, namep, setNamep:, t1, run, .cxx_destruct,

[p walk]; 打印的是分類里的方法實(shí)現(xiàn)這沒有問題；而遍歷打印出Person里的方法名稱嚷往，重點(diǎn)在輸出的方法名稱有兩個(gè)walk方法。
顯而易見柠衅，分類里的方法并不會(huì)覆蓋原本類的方法皮仁。

分類是如何加載過來(lái)的？

找到源碼里的萬(wàn)物之始_objc_init

/***********************************************************************
* _objc_init
* Bootstrap initialization. Registers our image notifier with dyld.
* Called by libSystem BEFORE library initialization time
**********************************************************************/
// 引導(dǎo)程序初始化菲宴。用dyld注冊(cè)圖像通知器贷祈。
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(); // 環(huán)境
    tls_init();   // 線程析構(gòu)
    static_init(); // 運(yùn)行c++靜態(tài)構(gòu)造函數(shù)
    lock_init(); 
    exception_init(); // 初始化libobjc的異常處理系統(tǒng)

    _dyld_objc_notify_register(&map_images, load_images, unmap_image);
}

程序編譯后的映射地址就是通過map_images加載進(jìn)來(lái)的。

/***********************************************************************
* map_images
* Process the given images which are being mapped in by dyld.
* Calls ABI-agnostic code after taking ABI-specific locks.
*
* Locking: write-locks runtimeLock
**********************************************************************/
// 處理由dyld映射的給定圖像喝峦。
void
map_images(unsigned count, const char * const paths[],

{
    rwlock_writer_t lock(runtimeLock);
    return map_images_nolock(count, paths, mhdrs);
}

我截圖幾個(gè)地方：
類的加載：

_read_images - 1

方法編號(hào)的加載：

_read_images - 2

Protocol的加載：

_read_images - 3

靜態(tài)方法和靜態(tài)實(shí)例：

_read_images - 4

分類的加載：

category-1

category-2

來(lái)看看加載分類的時(shí)候谣蠢，做了什么粟耻，分類的方法到底為什么不會(huì)覆蓋原有類里的方法：

/***********************************************************************
* remethodizeClass
* Attach outstanding categories to an existing class.
* Fixes up cls's method list, protocol list, and property list.
* Updates method caches for cls and its subclasses.
* Locking: runtimeLock must be held by the caller
**********************************************************************/
// 給一個(gè)現(xiàn)有的類附加杰出的類別。
static void remethodizeClass(Class cls)
{
    category_list *cats;
    bool isMeta;

    runtimeLock.assertWriting();

    isMeta = cls->isMetaClass();

    // Re-methodizing: check for more categories
    if ((cats = unattachedCategoriesForClass(cls, false/*not realizing*/))) {
        if (PrintConnecting) {
            _objc_inform("CLASS: attaching categories to class '%s' %s", 
                         cls->nameForLogging(), isMeta ? "(meta)" : "");
        }
        
        attachCategories(cls, cats, true /*flush caches*/);        
        free(cats);
    }
}

attachCategories將cats貼到cls里邊去眉踱，并且刷新緩存挤忙。

最后來(lái)看看attachCategories才是最終對(duì)現(xiàn)有類要做的事情：

// Attach method lists and properties and protocols from categories to a class.
// Assumes the categories in cats are all loaded and sorted by load order, 
// oldest categories first.
static void 
attachCategories(Class cls, category_list *cats, bool flush_caches)
{
    if (!cats) return;
    if (PrintReplacedMethods) printReplacements(cls, cats);

    bool isMeta = cls->isMetaClass();

    // fixme rearrange to remove these intermediate allocations
    method_list_t **mlists = (method_list_t **)
        malloc(cats->count * sizeof(*mlists));
    property_list_t **proplists = (property_list_t **)
        malloc(cats->count * sizeof(*proplists));
    protocol_list_t **protolists = (protocol_list_t **)
        malloc(cats->count * sizeof(*protolists));

    // Count backwards through cats to get newest categories first
    int mcount = 0;
    int propcount = 0;
    int protocount = 0;
    int i = cats->count;
    bool fromBundle = NO;
    while (i--) {
        auto& entry = cats->list[i];

        method_list_t *mlist = entry.cat->methodsForMeta(isMeta);
        if (mlist) {
            mlists[mcount++] = mlist;
            fromBundle |= entry.hi->isBundle();
        }

        property_list_t *proplist = 
            entry.cat->propertiesForMeta(isMeta, entry.hi);
        if (proplist) {
            proplists[propcount++] = proplist;
        }

        protocol_list_t *protolist = entry.cat->protocols;
        if (protolist) {
            protolists[protocount++] = protolist;
        }
    }

    auto rw = cls->data();

    prepareMethodLists(cls, mlists, mcount, NO, fromBundle);
    rw->methods.attachLists(mlists, mcount);
    free(mlists);
    if (flush_caches  &&  mcount > 0) flushCaches(cls);

    rw->properties.attachLists(proplists, propcount);
    free(proplists);

    rw->protocols.attachLists(protolists, protocount);
    free(protolists);
}

類里拿到三張表：方法列表、屬性列表谈喳、協(xié)議列表
分類里也拿到這三張表册烈。分別對(duì)應(yīng)的表進(jìn)行attachLists操作，最后寫到objc_class的data()里 (rw)婿禽。

怎么個(gè)貼法茄厘？先來(lái)看一下方法準(zhǔn)備：

    void attachLists(List* const * addedLists, uint32_t addedCount) {
        if (addedCount == 0) return;

        if (hasArray()) {
            // many lists -> many lists
            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]));
        }
        else if (!list  &&  addedCount == 1) {
            // 0 lists -> 1 list
            list = addedLists[0];
        } 
        else {
            // 1 list -> many lists
            List* oldList = list;
            uint32_t oldCount = oldList ? 1 : 0;
            uint32_t newCount = oldCount + addedCount;
            setArray((array_t *)malloc(array_t::byteSize(newCount)));
            array()->count = newCount;
            if (oldList) array()->lists[addedCount] = oldList;
            memcpy(array()->lists, addedLists, 
                   addedCount * sizeof(array()->lists[0]));
        }
    }

這里的操作非常騷矮冬，先比方我們貼的是分類的方法列表原array。在原本類的基礎(chǔ)上再加上分類新的array次哈，相當(dāng)于是數(shù)組擴(kuò)容胎署，并且setArray，再對(duì)array進(jìn)行memmove操作和memcpy操作窑滞。

什么意思咧琼牧？我舉個(gè)例：
原本Person有兩個(gè)實(shí)例方法（都有方法實(shí)現(xiàn)）:
-(void)walk; 、-(void)say;
而Person分類里有重寫了兩個(gè)實(shí)例方法：
-(void)walk; 哀卫、 -(void)run;

image.png

這里操作設(shè)計(jì)到一個(gè)復(fù)雜度的問題巨坊，如果我們遍歷找到Person類里有與分類同名方法，則把分類的方法插入到原本方法的前面此改，如果到方法末尾的找不到趾撵，就在末尾添加分類的方法。
在我們調(diào)用 [person walk];的時(shí)候共啃，在rw的method list里面walk的imp是分類在本類的前面占调，一找到imp就立馬return出去了，所以我們調(diào)用的優(yōu)先在分類移剪。

分類的方法并不會(huì)覆蓋掉本類里的方法究珊。

數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)圖：

data()
