#999: Handle Obj-C protocols better in MacRuby ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: martinlagardette@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: MacRuby | Keywords: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment(by martijn@…): Replying to [comment:4 lsansonetti@…]:
Looks like the class_addProtocol() runtime function could be used. I wonder if we can call it automatically, once all methods of a known protocol are defined.
To me, it feels there might be too much 'magic' in automatically adding protocols a class conforms to. Plus, there are plenty of protocols with no required but only optional methods. Would all MacRuby classes then automatically conform to these protocols? I don't mind manually indicating what protocols a class supports, as this helps make explicit what its responsibilities are. So what about just adding a class macro that calls class_addProtocol() during class definition? {{{ #!ruby class SourceListController add_protocol :NSOutlineViewDelegate def outlineView(outlineView, child:index, ofItem:item) ... end ... end }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/999#comment:6> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
