MulleObjC supplies the most basic runtime components to build a foundation
on top of it. MulleObjC fundamentally depends on standard C libraries only
(f.e. no <unistd.h>)

- NSAutoreleasePool - garbage collection
- NSCoder - object serialization
- NSObject - the root class of everything
- NSLock - locking for threading
- NSRecursiveLock - recursive locking for threading
- NSInvocation - method call serialization
- NSMethodSignature - method description
- NSProxy - the other root class of everything :=)
- NSThread - threads
- NSCoding - object serialization
- NSCopying - object copying
- NSFastEnumeration - support for
for ... inloops - NSObject - for objects that don't want to behave like NSObject but can't be them
- MulleObjCTaggedPointer - enables classes to use tagged pointers
- MulleObjCSingleton - enables classes to produce singletons
- MulleObjCClassCluster - enables classes to act as class clusters
It does all the interfacing with the mulle-objc runtime. Any library code above MulleObjC ideally, should not be using the mulle-objc runtime directly. Creating a foundation on top of mulle-objc without using MulleObjC is a foolhardy endeavor IMO.
MulleObjC must be compiled with the mulle-clang compiler, or a compiler which supports the metaABI required for the mulle-objc runtime.
MulleObjC is protocol based
Where is the documentation ? At this point in time there is precious littl as it is assumed, that you are familiar with the OS X Foundation. MulleObjC offers a subset of that functionality.
When using static libraries, -ObjC doesn't work, because the compiler doesn't
produce ObjC segments. Use -all_load.
On OS X you can use homebrew to install the library:
brew install mulle-objc/software/mulleobjc
to install the compiler:
brew install codeon-gmbh/software/mulle-clang
On other platforms you can use mulle-install from mulle-build to install the library:
mulle-install --prefix /usr/local --branch release https://github.com/mulle-objc/MulleObjC
