Finding all subclasses of a class ?

Is there a way to find all subclasses of a class ?

At runtime, I want to be able to find all subclasses of my custim Class : EutopiaModule.



Here is what I'm doing :

    int numClasses;
    Class * classes = NULL;
    classes = NULL;
    numClasses = objc_getClassList(NULL, 0);

    if( numClasses > 0 )
    {
        classes = malloc( sizeof(Class) * numClasses );
        (void) objc_getClassList( classes, numClasses );
    }

    int i;

for (i = 0; i < numClasses; i++ )
{
if ( [classes[i] respondsToSelector:@selector (isSubclassOfClass:)] )
{
if ( [classes[i] isSubclassOfClass:[EutopiaModule class]] )
{
NSLog (NSStringFromClass(classes[i]));
}
}
}



It doesn't work. The app crash with the following messages :

2005-08-25 15:57:10.104 €utopia[11296] *** +[Object respondsToSelector:]: warning: Object compatibility method has been executed at least once. Convert source code off it NOW!

What is the right way to do this ?
