I want to swizzle init(frame:)
of NSView
but call real init(frame:)
inside. Is this possible? I know, that I can achive the same with subclassing and overriding, but it will too much work to change it in all places. I don't know how to correctly implement swizzled method to not get recursion. My code:
@objc func swizzledFrameInit(frame: NSRect) {
//?? how to call init here
self.wantsLayer = true
}
static func swizzleInitDescription() {
DispatchQueue.once(token: "swizzleInitDescription") {
let originalInitWithFrameSelector = #selector(NSView.init(frame:))
let swizzledFrameSelector = #selector(NSView.swizzledFrameInit(frame:))
let originalFrameInit = class_getInstanceMethod(self, originalInitWithFrameSelector)
let swizzledFrameInit = class_getInstanceMethod(self, swizzledFrameSelector)
let didAddSwizzledFrameInit = class_addMethod(self, originalInitWithFrameSelector, method_getImplementation(swizzledFrameInit!), method_getTypeEncoding(swizzledFrameInit!))
if didAddSwizzledFrameInit {
class_replaceMethod(self, swizzledFrameSelector, method_getImplementation(originalFrameInit!), method_getTypeEncoding(originalFrameInit!))
} else {
method_exchangeImplementations(originalFrameInit!, swizzledFramaInit!)
}
}
}
Also I tried pretty much the same but with convenience init
and got recursion. Any Help would be appreciated.
Putting aside that this is a very dangerous and ill-advised swizzle if used for anything but exploration and debugging, the point of method_exchangeImplementations
is that it exchanges implementations. This means that the old implementation becomes the swizzled method. So to call the old implementation you call yourself:
@objc func swizzledFrameInit(frame: NSRect) {
self.swizzledFrameInit(frame: frame)
self.wantsLayer = true
}
Generally the correct way to implement what you're doing here is to set wantsLayer
on the top-level view. This property applies to all subviews.
Creating a layer-backed view implicitly causes the entire view hierarchy under that view to become layer-backed. Thus, the view and all of its subviews (including subviews of subviews) become layer-backed
