@mjtsai In fact, NSWindow got so insane that a new class, NSWindowAuxiliary, was created to hold the additional ivars.

@mjtsai As NSWindowAuxilary isn't public, Apple can add and remove ivars as needed without having the fragile base class problem.

@rosyna So why are they still using it now that we have Objective-C 2? - View other replies

@mjtsai As long as the 32-bit i386 runtime exists, they can't dump the ivars from the headers, sadly. -
@rosyna So, again, this is not (yet) an actual performance improvement resulting from Objective-C 2. -
@mjtsai While NSWindow may have been good to show the pain of fragile base classes, it may have been bad for an optimization example -
@mjtsai a better example would be NSStringDrawing, all the Gesture Recognizer classes, NSIndexPath, various NSCollectionView classes - View other replies

@rosyna Interesting that they added hash ivar for NSIndexPath. NSStringDrawing is a category so not sure what you are referring to there. -
@mjtsai err, NSStringDrawingContext.
