Introduction
To use Apple's Cocoa API, you must use Objective-C function calls. However, you do not have to write Objective-C code because Objective-C can be accessed via C functions such asobjc_msgSend
.
The main reason to use Pure-C over Objective-C is to be able to compile your project in C. This is helpful if you want to create a single-header file that does not require the user to compile using Objective-C.
Two examples of this are:
Silicon.h, a C-Wrapper for the Cocoa API that wraps around the Objective-C function calls so you can use the Cocoa API in normal-looking C code, andRGFW, a lightweight single-header windowing library.
Both projects can be used as a reference for using Cocoa in C.

A quick overview of the topics the article will cover

1. The Basics of using Objective-C in Pure C
Objective-C functions can be called usingobjc_msgsend
.
Due to ABI differences, ARM usesobjc_msgsend
for all cases. Howeverx86_64
CPUs require the use of specific functions for floating point and structure returns.objc_msgsend_fpret
for functions with floating point returns andobjc_msgsend_fstret
for functions that return a structure.
RGFW handles this like this:
#include<objc/runtime.h>#include<objc/message.h>#ifdef __arm64__/* ARM just uses objc_msgSend */#define abi_objc_msgSend_stret objc_msgSend#define abi_objc_msgSend_fpret objc_msgSend#else/* __i386__ *//* x86 just uses abi_objc_msgSend_fpret and (NSColor *)objc_msgSend_id respectively */#define abi_objc_msgSend_stret objc_msgSend_stret#define abi_objc_msgSend_fpret objc_msgSend_fpret#endif
objc_msgSend
is a generic function, so its type must be cast based on the return and argument types you want.
For example:((int (*)(id, SEL, int))objc_msgSend)
for a function that takes an int argument and returns an int.
To avoid repeating commonly used type-casting, RGFW defines macros to handle common cases.
#define objc_msgSend_id ((id (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_id_id ((id (*)(id, SEL, id))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_id_rect ((id (*)(id, SEL, NSRect))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_uint ((NSUInteger (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_int ((NSInteger (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_SEL ((SEL (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_float ((CGFloat (*)(id, SEL))abi_objc_msgSend_fpret)#define objc_msgSend_bool ((BOOL (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_void ((void (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_double ((double (*)(id, SEL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_void_id ((void (*)(id, SEL, id))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_void_uint ((void (*)(id, SEL, NSUInteger))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_void_int ((void (*)(id, SEL, NSInteger))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_void_bool ((void (*)(id, SEL, BOOL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_void_float ((void (*)(id, SEL, CGFloat))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_void_double ((void (*)(id, SEL, double))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_void_SEL ((void (*)(id, SEL, SEL))objc_msgSend)#define objc_msgSend_id_char_const ((id (*)(id, SEL, char const *))objc_msgSend)
You might notice two common arguments in these functions,id
andSEL
Theid
argument refers to an ID of an Objective-C object or class.
SEL
refers to the function's selector.
For exampleMyObject *bar = [MyObject objectWithString:@"RGFW"];
can be translated toid* bar = [id SEL:@"RGFW"];
To get the ID to an Objective-C class you must runobjc_getClass
For example:objc_getClass("NSWindow");
To get the selector for an Objective-C function you must usesel_registerName
The syntax of Objective-C functions is like this<function-name>
, then:
is used as a placeholder for an argument.
A function with one argument would look like this:
sel_registerName("makeKeyAndOrderFront:");
However, a function with no arguments would look like this.
sel_registerName("isKeyWindow");
If the function has multiple arguments you will have to also add the argument names (not including the first argument)
sel_registerName("initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer:");
To define a class method (eg. a callback function for the object) you must useclass_addMethod
this function takes thedelegate class (class of the object that is calling'sdelegate
), selector of the function being called, the function you want to be called, and the arguments expected in string format.
But first, you must allocate the delegate class to access it.
You can do this usingobjc_allocateClassPair
.
For example to allocate the delegate class for an NSWindow:
ClassdelegateClass=objc_allocateClassPair(objc_getClass("NSObject"),"WindowDelegate",0);
To create a call back you have to useclass_addMethod
to set it as the callback for the class.
Creating a call back for NSWindow'swindowWillResize
would look like this:
class_addMethod(delegateClass,sel_registerName("windowWillResize:toSize:"),(IMP)windowResize,"{NSSize=ff}@:{NSSize=ff}");
You can also add custom user variables to the class, these can be used to attach user data to the class.
For example, RGFW attaches anRGFW_window
to the NSWindow class to modify theRGFW_window*
data. This can be done usingclass_addIvar
class_addIvar(delegateClass,"RGFW_window",sizeof(RGFW_window*),rint(log2(sizeof(RGFW_window*))),"L");
To set the variable to use for your NSWindow instance, use
To set theRGFW_window
object to be the variable instance for its NSWindow object:
object_setInstanceVariable(delegate, "NSWindow", window);
You can get the instance variable of an object viaobject_getInstanceVariable
RGFW_window*win=NULL;//The object variable would be called "self" in a callbackobject_getInstanceVariable(self,"RGFW_window",(void*)&win);
Defining Cocoa Types
The Cocoa header files are written in Objective-C. This means we'll have to define the types and enums ourselves.
The shape types can be defined as the CG Shapes like this:
typedefCGRectNSRect;typedefCGPointNSPoint;typedefCGSizeNSSize;
Cocoa also uses custom integer-type names,
these can be defined to be their matching c datatype.
typedefunsignedlongNSUInteger;typedeflongNSInteger;
You can also define Cocoa objects. I define them as void so I can use them as pointers.
// Note: void is being used here// type* can be used ( type* == void* == id )typedefvoidNSEvent;typedefvoidNSString;typedefvoidNSWindow;typedefvoidNSApplication;
As for the enums, here are some of the enums I will be using in this tutorial.
Many of the other enums can be found in Cocoa's headers, documentation, RGFW.h, or Silicon. h.
/* this macro is used to give an enum a type */#define NS_ENUM(type, name) type name; enumtypedefNS_ENUM(NSUInteger,NSWindowStyleMask){NSWindowStyleMaskBorderless=0,NSWindowStyleMaskTitled=1<<0,NSWindowStyleMaskClosable=1<<1,NSWindowStyleMaskMiniaturizable=1<<2,NSWindowStyleMaskResizable=1<<3,NSWindowStyleMaskTexturedBackground=1<<8,/* deprecated */NSWindowStyleMaskUnifiedTitleAndToolbar=1<<12,NSWindowStyleMaskFullScreen=1<<14,NSWindowStyleMaskFullSizeContentView=1<<15,NSWindowStyleMaskUtilityWindow=1<<4,NSWindowStyleMaskDocModalWindow=1<<6,NSWindowStyleMaskNonactivatingPanel=1<<7,NSWindowStyleMaskHUDWindow=1<<13};typedefNS_ENUM(NSUInteger,NSBackingStoreType){NSBackingStoreRetained=0,NSBackingStoreNonretained=1,NSBackingStoreBuffered=2};typedefNS_ENUM(NSUInteger,NSEventType){/* various types of events */NSEventTypeLeftMouseDown=1,NSEventTypeLeftMouseUp=2,NSEventTypeRightMouseDown=3,NSEventTypeRightMouseUp=4,NSEventTypeMouseMoved=5,NSEventTypeLeftMouseDragged=6,NSEventTypeRightMouseDragged=7,NSEventTypeMouseEntered=8,NSEventTypeMouseExited=9,NSEventTypeKeyDown=10,NSEventTypeKeyUp=11,NSEventTypeFlagsChanged=12,NSEventTypeAppKitDefined=13,NSEventTypeSystemDefined=14,NSEventTypeApplicationDefined=15,NSEventTypePeriodic=16,NSEventTypeCursorUpdate=17,NSEventTypeScrollWheel=22,NSEventTypeTabletPoint=23,NSEventTypeTabletProximity=24,NSEventTypeOtherMouseDown=25,NSEventTypeOtherMouseUp=26,NSEventTypeOtherMouseDragged=27,/* The following event types are available on some hardware on 10.5.2 and later */NSEventTypeGestureAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5))=29,NSEventTypeMagnifyAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5))=30,NSEventTypeSwipeAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5))=31,NSEventTypeRotateAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5))=18,NSEventTypeBeginGestureAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5))=19,NSEventTypeEndGestureAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5))=20,NSEventTypeSmartMagnifyAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.8))=32,NSEventTypeQuickLookAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.8))=33,NSEventTypePressureAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.10.3))=34,NSEventTypeDirectTouchAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.10))=37,NSEventTypeChangeModeAPI_AVAILABLE(macos(10.15))=38,};typedefNS_ENUM(unsignedlonglong,NSEventMask){/* masks for the types of events */NSEventMaskLeftMouseDown=1ULL<<NSEventTypeLeftMouseDown,NSEventMaskLeftMouseUp=1ULL<<NSEventTypeLeftMouseUp,NSEventMaskRightMouseDown=1ULL<<NSEventTypeRightMouseDown,NSEventMaskRightMouseUp=1ULL<<NSEventTypeRightMouseUp,NSEventMaskMouseMoved=1ULL<<NSEventTypeMouseMoved,NSEventMaskLeftMouseDragged=1ULL<<NSEventTypeLeftMouseDragged,NSEventMaskRightMouseDragged=1ULL<<NSEventTypeRightMouseDragged,NSEventMaskMouseEntered=1ULL<<NSEventTypeMouseEntered,NSEventMaskMouseExited=1ULL<<NSEventTypeMouseExited,NSEventMaskKeyDown=1ULL<<NSEventTypeKeyDown,NSEventMaskKeyUp=1ULL<<NSEventTypeKeyUp,NSEventMaskFlagsChanged=1ULL<<NSEventTypeFlagsChanged,NSEventMaskAppKitDefined=1ULL<<NSEventTypeAppKitDefined,NSEventMaskSystemDefined=1ULL<<NSEventTypeSystemDefined,NSEventMaskApplicationDefined=1ULL<<NSEventTypeApplicationDefined,NSEventMaskPeriodic=1ULL<<NSEventTypePeriodic,NSEventMaskCursorUpdate=1ULL<<NSEventTypeCursorUpdate,NSEventMaskScrollWheel=1ULL<<NSEventTypeScrollWheel,NSEventMaskTabletPoint=1ULL<<NSEventTypeTabletPoint,NSEventMaskTabletProximity=1ULL<<NSEventTypeTabletProximity,NSEventMaskOtherMouseDown=1ULL<<NSEventTypeOtherMouseDown,NSEventMaskOtherMouseUp=1ULL<<NSEventTypeOtherMouseUp,NSEventMaskOtherMouseDragged=1ULL<<NSEventTypeOtherMouseDragged,};/* The following event masks are available on some hardware on 10.5.2 and later */#define NSEventMaskGesture API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5)) (1ULL << NSEventTypeGesture)#define NSEventMaskMagnify API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5)) (1ULL << NSEventTypeMagnify)#define NSEventMaskSwipe API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5)) (1ULL << NSEventTypeSwipe)#define NSEventMaskRotate API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5)) (1ULL << NSEventTypeRotate)#define NSEventMaskBeginGesture API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5)) (1ULL << NSEventTypeBeginGesture)#define NSEventMaskEndGesture API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5)) (1ULL << NSEventTypeEndGesture)/* Note: You can only use these event masks on 64 bit.

RGFW also definesNSAlloc
andNSRelease
because they're basic functions that are used a lot.
#define NSAlloc(nsclass) objc_msgSend_id((id)nsclass, sel_registerName("alloc"))#define NSRelease(nsclass) objc_msgSend_id((id)nsclass, sel_registerName("release"))
3. Creating a Basic Cocoa Window
Now that you understand the basics of calling Objective-C functions from C, and the setup required to use Cocoa, it's time to apply that for creating a basic window using Cocoa.
First, some library headers are required.
#include<CoreVideo/CVDisplayLink.h> // !#include<ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>#include<string.h>
These functions will be used for printing information about the current event.
constchar*NSEventTypeToChar(NSEventTypeeventType);constchar*NSEventModifierFlagsToChar(NSEventModifierFlagsmodifierFlags);// These will be placed after the main function and will be defined like this:constchar*NSEventTypeToChar(NSEventTypeeventType){switch(eventType){caseNSEventTypeLeftMouseDown:return"LeftMouseDown";caseNSEventTypeLeftMouseUp:return"LeftMouseUp";caseNSEventTypeRightMouseDown:return"RightMouseDown";caseNSEventTypeRightMouseUp:return"RightMouseUp";caseNSEventTypeMouseMoved:return"MouseMoved";caseNSEventTypeLeftMouseDragged:return"LeftMouseDragged";caseNSEventTypeRightMouseDragged:return"RightMouseDragged";caseNSEventTypeMouseEntered:return"MouseEntered";caseNSEventTypeMouseExited:return"MouseExited";caseNSEventTypeKeyDown:return"KeyDown";caseNSEventTypeKeyUp:return"KeyUp";caseNSEventTypeFlagsChanged:return"FlagsChanged";caseNSEventTypeAppKitDefined:return"AppKitDefined";caseNSEventTypeSystemDefined:return"SystemDefined";caseNSEventTypeApplicationDefined:return"ApplicationDefined";caseNSEventTypePeriodic:return"Periodic";caseNSEventTypeCursorUpdate:return"CursorUpdate";caseNSEventTypeScrollWheel:return"ScrollWheel";caseNSEventTypeTabletPoint:return"TabletPoint";caseNSEventTypeTabletProximity:return"TabletProximity";caseNSEventTypeOtherMouseDown:return"OtherMouseDown";caseNSEventTypeOtherMouseUp:return"OtherMouseUp";caseNSEventTypeOtherMouseDragged:return"OtherMouseDragged";default:return"N/A";}}char*ns_strcat(registerchar*s,registerconstchar*append){char*save=s;for(;*s;++s);while((*s++=*append++));returnsave;}constchar*NSEventModifierFlagsToChar(NSEventModifierFlagsmodifierFlags){staticcharresult[100];result[0]='\0';if((modifierFlags&NSEventModifierFlagCapsLock)==NSEventModifierFlagCapsLock)ns_strcat(result,"CapsLock, ");if((modifierFlags&NSEventModifierFlagShift)==NSEventModifierFlagShift)ns_strcat(result,"NShift, ");if((modifierFlags&NSEventModifierFlagControl)==NSEventModifierFlagControl)ns_strcat(result,"Control, ");if((modifierFlags&NSEventModifierFlagOption)==NSEventModifierFlagOption)ns_strcat(result,"Option, ");if((modifierFlags&NSEventModifierFlagCommand)==NSEventModifierFlagCommand)ns_strcat(result,"Command, ");if((modifierFlags&NSEventModifierFlagNumericPad)==NSEventModifierFlagNumericPad)ns_strcat(result,"NumericPad, ");if((modifierFlags&NSEventModifierFlagHelp)==NSEventModifierFlagHelp)ns_strcat(result,"Help, ");if((modifierFlags&NSEventModifierFlagFunction)==NSEventModifierFlagFunction)ns_strcat(result,"Function, ");returnresult;}
Cocoa does not handle certain events using the event loop.
Instead, they're fed to the NSWindow via callbacks.
Here's how these functions will be defined for this example:
boolrunning=true;unsignedintonClose(void*self){NSWindow*win=NULL;object_getInstanceVariable(self,"NSWindow",(void*)&win);if(win==NULL)returntrue;running=false;returntrue;}NSSizewindowResize(void*self,SELsel,NSSizeframeSize){NSWindow*win=NULL;object_getInstanceVariable(self,"NSWindow",(void*)&win);if(win==NULL)returnframeSize;printf("window resized to %f %f\n",frameSize.width,frameSize.height);returnframeSize;}
The first thing that I will do in the main function is define thewindowShouldClose
callback.
This is so that way the program doesn't keep running after the window is closed.
class_addMethod(objc_getClass("NSObject"),sel_registerName("windowShouldClose:"),(IMP)onClose,0);
Next, theNSApplication is set up.
This requires the use ofsharedApplication
andsetActivationPolicy
NSApplication*NSApp=objc_msgSend_id((id)objc_getClass("NSApplication"),sel_registerName("sharedApplication"));objc_msgSend_void_id(NSApp,sel_registerName("setActivationPolicy:"),NSApplicationActivationPolicyRegular);
Now you can create aNSWindow can be created, I broke the window creation process into three steps so it's more readable.
The window is created usinginitWithContentRect
NSBackingStoreTypemacArgs=NSWindowStyleMaskClosable|NSWindowStyleMaskMiniaturizable|NSBackingStoreBuffered|NSWindowStyleMaskTitled|NSWindowStyleMaskResizable;SELfunc=sel_registerName("initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer:");NSWindow*window=((id(*)(id,SEL,NSRect,NSWindowStyleMask,NSBackingStoreType,bool))objc_msgSend)(NSAlloc(objc_getClass("NSWindow")),func,(NSRect){{200,200},{200,200}},macArgs,macArgs,false);
You can then set up the delegate class and window resize callback.
ClassdelegateClass=objc_allocateClassPair(objc_getClass("NSObject"),"WindowDelegate",0);class_addIvar(delegateClass,"NSWindow",sizeof(NSWindow*),rint(log2(sizeof(NSWindow*))),"L");class_addMethod(delegateClass,sel_registerName("windowWillResize:toSize:"),(IMP)windowResize,"{NSSize=ff}@:{NSSize=ff}");
After that, the delegate must be initialized usinginit
Then I will set the delegate's variable data as our NSWindow and set the NSWindow's delegate to be the delegate we initialized usingsetDelegate
iddelegate=objc_msgSend_id(NSAlloc(delegateClass),sel_registerName("init"));object_setInstanceVariable(delegate,"NSWindow",window);objc_msgSend_void_id(window,sel_registerName("setDelegate:"),delegate);
Then the window can be shown usingsetIsVisible
and made key and front viamakeKeyAndOrderFront
, this puts it in focus.
activatIgnoredOtherApps is required to open the window
objc_msgSend_void_bool(NSApp,sel_registerName("activateIgnoringOtherApps:"),true);((id(*)(id,SEL,SEL))objc_msgSend)(window,sel_registerName("makeKeyAndOrderFront:"),NULL);objc_msgSend_void_bool(window,sel_registerName("setIsVisible:"),true);objc_msgSend_void(NSApp,sel_registerName("finishLaunching"));
Now, in the draw loop, I'd start by creating a memory pool.
This is so that way all memory allocated by event checking can be freed at once, avoiding a memory leak.
This can be done usingNSAutoreleasePool
idpool=objc_msgSend_id(NSAlloc(objc_getClass("NSAutoreleasePool")),sel_registerName("init"));
Now the current event can be checked using anNSEvent
object andnextEventMatchingMask
The event type can be found usingtype
The event mouse point can be found usinglocationInWindow
The event modifier flags can be found usingmodifierFlags
NSEvent*e=(NSEvent*)((id(*)(id,SEL,NSEventMask,void*,NSString*,bool))objc_msgSend)(NSApp,sel_registerName("nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:"),ULONG_MAX,NULL,((id(*)(id,SEL,constchar*))objc_msgSend)((id)objc_getClass("NSString"),sel_registerName("stringWithUTF8String:"),"kCFRunLoopDefaultMode"),true);unsignedinttype=objc_msgSend_uint(e,sel_registerName("type"));NSPointp=((NSPoint(*)(id,SEL))objc_msgSend)(e,sel_registerName("locationInWindow"));
Before I check the event, I make sure there is an event.
if(type==0)printf("Event [type=%s location={%f, %f} modifierFlags={%s}]\n",NSEventTypeToChar(type),p.x,p.y,NSEventModifierFlagsToChar(objc_msgSend_uint(e,sel_registerName("modifierFlags"))));
The event can be pushed out usingsendEvent
and the window can be updated usingupdateWindows
objc_msgSend_void_id(NSApp,sel_registerName("sendEvent:"),e);((void(*)(id,SEL))objc_msgSend)(NSApp,sel_registerName("updateWindows"));
At the end of the draw loop, the event pool should be freed.
NSRelease(pool);
