mulle-objc-runtime-startup

▶️ Startup code for the mulle-objc runtime

This static library provides the required __register_mulle_objc_universe function for executables, that link against mulle-objc-runtime only.

Use this library, if you want to create executables, that only require the mulle-objc-runtime and nothing else. Most projects will link against MulleObjC or the MulleFoundation though, and will use the startup libraries.

Sourcetree

The main raison d'être of mulle-objc-runtime-startup as a seperate library is to bequeath the required dependencies mulle-atinit and mulle-atexit for linking with the executable.

mulle-atinit		🤱🏼 Compatibility library for deterministic initializers
mulle-atexit		👼 Compatibility library to fix atexit

Add

Use mulle-sde to add mulle-objc-runtime-startup to your project. As long as your sources are using #include "include-private.h" and your headers use #include "include.h", there will nothing more to do:

mulle-sde add github:mulle-objc/mulle-objc-runtime-startup

To only add the sources of mulle-objc-runtime-startup with all the sources of its dependencies replace "github:" with clib::

Legacy adds

One common denominator is that you will likely have to add #include <mulle-objc-runtime-startup/mulle-objc-runtime-startup.h> to your source files.

Add sources to your project with clib

clib install --out src/mulle-objc mulle-objc/mulle-objc-runtime-startup

Add -isystem src/mulle-objc to your CFLAGS and compile all the sources that were downloaded with your project. (In cmake add include_directories( BEFORE SYSTEM src/mulle-objc) to your CMakeLists.txt file).

Add as subproject with cmake and git

git submodule add -f --name "mulle-core" \
                            "https://github.com/mulle-core/mulle-core.git" \
                            "stash/mulle-core"
git submodule add -f --name "mulle-atinit" \
                            "https://github.com/mulle-core/mulle-atinit.git" \
                            "stash/mulle-atinit"
git submodule add -f --name "mulle-atexit" \
                            "https://github.com/mulle-core/mulle-atexit.git" \
                            "stash/mulle-atexit"
git submodule add -f --name "mulle-objc-runtime" \
                            "https://github.com/mulle-objc/mulle-objc-runtime.git" \
                            "stash/mulle-objc-runtime"
git submodule add -f --name "mulle-objc-runtime-startup" \
                            "https://github.com/mulle-objc/mulle-objc-runtime-startup" \
                            "stash/mulle-objc-runtime-startup"
git submodule update --init --recursive
