When reading up on NSObject's class method 'initialize', I found these
two quotes in the docs:
"Each class receives the initialize message just once from the runtime
system."
"Normally the runtime system sends a class just one initialize message.
However, if for some reason an application or the runtime system
generates additional initialize messages, it is a good idea to prevent
code from being invoked more than once"
I can see where an application developer may (accidentally?) have code
to call initialize more than once. But why do the docs have
conflicting statements regarding the runtime?
I have no problem modifying my initialize implementations with a
one-shot flag if need be. However, if the runtime is only ever suppose
to call initialize once, I'll then file a bug against the docs.
