Thanks for your reply. Also, it would be great if you could clarify/
suggest below concerns too
1. We no longer need to link the framework explicitly, i.e. gcc
myuseApp.c -framework myFramework.framework. Is that correct ?
If you want to use functions or classes from that framework, you need
to link to it (with -framework).
2. Also,if I just specify the header file and use the function I
require from framework, then will the "initialize routines" and
"terminate routine" of the framework be called automatically.
I'm not sure what you mean here; can you give an example of an
initialize/terminate routine?
Actually we have routine(s) that get called up when the framework
gets loaded and unloaded respectively.
I don't think of the framework as getting "loaded"; rather it's a
pile of code that your program can use if it wants. In Mac OS X, code
is never unloaded; once it's loaded, it's there to stay until the
program exits.
I'm not completely confident in this answer though; someone else will
be better able to answer. There are exceptions too, such as classes
in a loaded framework being all send the +load message.
