protocol_addProperty(_:_:_:_:_:_:)

Adds a property to a protocol that is under construction.

Declaration

func protocol_addProperty(_ proto: Protocol, _ name: UnsafePointer<CChar>, _ attributes: UnsafePointer<objc_property_attribute_t>?, _ attributeCount: UInt32, _ isRequiredProperty: Bool, _ isInstanceProperty: Bool)

Parameters

  • proto:

    The protocol you want to add a property to.

  • name:

    The name of the property you want to add.

  • attributes:

    An array of property attributes.

  • attributeCount:

    The number of properties in attributes.

  • isRequiredProperty:

    A Boolean indicating whether the property’s accessor methods are required methods of the proto protocol. If Yes, the property’s accessor methods are required methods; if No, the property’s accessor methods are optional methods.

  • isInstanceProperty:

    A Boolean indicating whether the property’s accessor methods are instance methods. If Yes, the property’s accessor methods are instance methods. Yes is the only value allowed for a property. As a result, if you set this value to No, the property will not be added to the protocol.

Discussion

The protocol you want to add the property to must be under construction—allocated but not yet registered with the Objective-C runtime (via the objc_registerProtocol(_:) function).
