@mjtsai@owensd@brentsimmons I think the prefixes are legit module names, just that ObjC doesn’t require modules?

@danielpunkass @owensd @brentsimmons Yes, but why does the Objective-C runtime have access to non-Obj-C classes?

@mjtsai@owensd@brentsimmons Good question. I assumed it was only looking up@objc Swift classes. -
@danielpunkass@owensd@brentsimmons The example he gave seems to use pure Swift classes. -
@mjtsai@danielpunkass@brentsimmons very interesting; they may be unifying the runtime more than I imagined they would. -
@owensd@mjtsai@brentsimmons Maybe something they are chipping away at? From lldb stopped in Swift code…pic.twitter.com/Ol9cpVDX14

@danielpunkass@owensd@mjtsai@brentsimmons NSClassFromString will only find classes, and needs a module-qualified name. -
@jckarter@danielpunkass@owensd@brentsimmons Can we rely on it finding classes going forward? - View other replies

@mjtsai@danielpunkass@owensd@brentsimmons Yeah, all Swift classes get registered with the ObjC runtime. - View other replies
