CTObjectiveCRuntimeAdditions introduces the following new runtime additions:
void class_swizzleSelector(Class class, SEL originalSelector, SEL newSelector);void class_swizzlesMethodsWithPrefix(Class class, NSString *prefix);void class_enumerateMethodList(Class class, CTMethodEnumertor enumerator);Class class_subclassPassingTest(Class class, CTClassTest test);IMP class_replaceMethodWithBlock(Class class, SEL originalSelector, id block);void class_implementPropertyInUserDefaults(Class class, NSString *propertyName, BOOL automaticSynchronizeUserDefaults);void class_implementProperty(Class class, NSString *propertyName, objc_AssociationPolicy associationPolicy);
Getting runtime information about blocks
CTBlockDescription lets you inspect blocks including arguments and compile time features at runtime.
One could use CTBlockDescription for the following test block:
// a test block.
BOOL(^testBlock)(BOOL animated, id object) = ^BOOL(BOOL animated, id object) {
return YES;
};
// allocating a block description
CTBlockDescription *blockDescription = [[CTBlockDescription alloc] initWithBlock:testBlock];
// getting a method signature for this block
NSMethodSignature *methodSignature = blockDescription.blockSignature;
/**

Thanks goes to the Block Implementation Specification and the A2DynamicDelegate project for some good libffi samples and convertion from encodings to libffi types.
