sel_getUid(_:)

Registers a method name with the Objective-C runtime system.

Declaration

func sel_getUid(_ str: UnsafePointer<CChar>) -> Selector

Parameters

str:
A pointer to a C string. Pass the name of the method you wish to register.

Return Value

A pointer of type SEL specifying the selector for the named method.

Discussion

The implementation of this method is identical to the implementation of sel_registerName(_:).

Version-Notes

Prior to OS X version 10.0, this method tried to find the selector mapped to the given name and returned NULL if the selector was not found. This was changed for safety, because it was observed that many of the callers of this function did not check the return value for NULL.
