I definitely used it colloquially to mean “it was hard to figure out” something. I don’t think my occasional use is anywhere near the line. Like any tool it can be used for good and bad stuff. I don’t use it often, but do occasionally.

There’s not that many Obj-C devs anymore. It seems clear to me that the implied meaning was purposefully different from the literal meaning – that the author hoped to imply I was doing something surprising and unethical but was actually just normal stuff.īut I’ll add a couple more – more specific details for the nerds:Ĭlass dump is specifically Obj-C – so, harder to classify. I think that’s probably sufficient to debunk this right? There was a lengthy private and public beta – lots of people used including RealMac used it for months before release. Site Images was no different from any of dozens of difficult features in Stacks. Is reading header files “reverse engineering”?ĭid I do something nefarious or otherwise unethical? To be clear, this is exactly the same stuff I’d do when using Apple’s frameworks.

Like all RW plug-in devs I read the framework header-files, then make educated guesses about their functions, and do a lot of trial and error. There is no documentation similar to Apple’s docs for their frameworks like AppKit, Obj-C, or Swift. It does have framework “header-files” and a few read-me files. The RapidWeaver Plug-In API has never had any detailed documentation. was it found out in a surprise discovery: No.

And that realmac was kept in the dark from a secret and learned in a surprise discovery. This paragraph implies “reverse-engineered” is nefarious. But let me give a more nuanced answer as well.
