CC_CLASSINIT Class Reference

This type is important because it is used to build up the runtime class information used by CCObject and CCRuntimeClass. What happens is that any class declared as dynamic has a static instance of an object of this type. This static object is declared by the CC_IMPLEMENT_{DYNAMIC,DYNCREATE} macro. Declaring this object as static means that its constructor is called at program startup (very early on in the initialisation. The constructor is the important part - the object is declared passing in a pointer to the runtime class object (CCRuntimeClass) associated with the class in question. The CC_CLASSINIT then adds this object to the list of classes maintained and used by the CCRuntimeClass class. More...
