从上一节了解从缓存查找方法，并取出执行，但是当找不到方法时的处理在上一节并没有说，现在就来看看吧

behavior

/* method lookup */
enum {
    LOOKUP_INITIALIZE = 1,
    LOOKUP_RESOLVER = 2,
    LOOKUP_NIL = 4,
    LOOKUP_NOCACHE = 8,
};

• LOOKUP_INITIALIZE： 是否需要类的初始化。有值初始化，没有不初始化。
• LOOKUP_RESOLVER：是否进行动态方法，有值进行，无值不进行
• LOOKUP_NIL：是否进行forward。有值不进行，没有值进行。
• LOOKUP_NOCACHE：是否插入缓存。有值不插入缓存，没有值插入。

1 从class_rw_t中查找方法

NEVER_INLINE
IMP lookUpImpOrForward(id inst, SEL sel, Class cls, int behavior)
{
    const IMP forward_imp = (IMP)_objc_msgForward_impcache;
    IMP imp = nil;
    Class curClass;

。。。。。。

    curClass = cls;

    // The code used to lookup the class's cache again right after
    // we take the lock but for the vast majority of the cases
    // evidence shows this is a miss most of the time, hence a time loss.
    //
    // The only codepath calling into this without having performed some
    // kind of cache lookup is class_getInstanceMethod().

    for (unsigned attempts = unreasonableClassCount();;) {
        if (curClass->cache.isConstantOptimizedCache(/* strict */true)) {
#if CONFIG_USE_PREOPT_CACHES
            imp = cache_getImp(curClass, sel);
            if (imp) goto done_unlock;
            curClass = curClass->cache.preoptFallbackClass();
#endif
        } else {
            // curClass method list.
            Method meth = getMethodNoSuper_nolock(curClass, sel);
            if (meth) {
                imp = meth->imp(false);
                goto done;
            }

            if (slowpath((curClass = curClass->getSuperclass()) == nil)) {
                // No implementation found, and method resolver didn't help.
                // Use forwarding.
                imp = forward_imp;
                break;
            }
        }

        // Halt if there is a cycle in the superclass chain.
        if (slowpath(--attempts == 0)) {
            _objc_fatal("Memory corruption in class list.");
        }

        // Superclass cache.
        imp = cache_getImp(curClass, sel);
        if (slowpath(imp == forward_imp)) {
            // Found a forward:: entry in a superclass.
            // Stop searching, but don't cache yet; call method
            // resolver for this class first.
            break;
        }
        if (fastpath(imp)) {
            // Found the method in a superclass. Cache it in this class.
            goto done;
        }
    }

    // No implementation found. Try method resolver once.

    if (slowpath(behavior & LOOKUP_RESOLVER)) {
        behavior ^= LOOKUP_RESOLVER;
        return resolveMethod_locked(inst, sel, cls, behavior);
    }

。。。。。。。。

    return imp;
}

• 进行一个死循环，死循环结束条件
  • 找打了imp
  • 父类为nil
  • Halt if there is a cycle in the superclass chain.
  • imp == forward_imp：父类缓存中找到的方法是forwar_imp

1.1 cache_getImp

如果学习了CacheLookup，这里的汇编也就一目了然了

STATIC_ENTRY _cache_getImp

	GetClassFromIsa_p16 p0, 0
	CacheLookup GETIMP, _cache_getImp, LGetImpMissDynamic, LGetImpMissConstant

LGetImpMissDynamic:
	mov	p0, #0
	ret

LGetImpMissConstant:
	mov	p0, p2
	ret

	END_ENTRY _cache_getImp

1.2 getMethodNoSuper_nolock

现在我们详细说明下getMethodNoSuper_nolock函数

/***********************************************************************
 * getMethodNoSuper_nolock
 * fixme
 * Locking: runtimeLock must be read- or write-locked by the caller
 **********************************************************************/
static method_t *
getMethodNoSuper_nolock(Class cls, SEL sel)
{
    runtimeLock.assertLocked();

    ASSERT(cls->isRealized());
    // fixme nil cls? 
    // fixme nil sel?

    auto const methods = cls->data()->methods();
    for (auto mlists = methods.beginLists(),
              end = methods.endLists();
         mlists != end;
         ++mlists)
    {
        // <rdar://problem/46904873> getMethodNoSuper_nolock is the hottest
        // caller of search_method_list, inlining it turns
        // getMethodNoSuper_nolock into a frame-less function and eliminates
        // any store from this codepath.
        method_t *m = search_method_list_inline(*mlists, sel);
        if (m) return m;
    }

    return nil;
}

• cls->data()->methods()：我们知道了他是从class_rw_t得到方法列表
• for循环遍历方法methods
