Can I inline static class methods in Objective-C?

Question

You can declare functions as inlines like this:

#ifdef DEBUG
void DPrintf(NSString *fmt,...);
#else
inline void DPrintf(NSString *fmt,...) {}
#endif
<         


        

Answer 1

Yes!

You can accomplish this with blocks

-(void)viewDidLoad {

    void(^inlineFunction)(int) = ^(int argument) {
        NSLog(@"%i", argument);
    };
        
    inlineFunction(5);//logs '5'

}

Apple even documents this here (archive) so it's not a private method as many online seem to believe.

Enjoy!
