1.1.1 Initialization

Before calling any of the Objective-C interface functions, the runtime system must be initialized. This is done by calling ensure-objc-initialized, optionally passing a list of foreign modules to be loaded. For example, the following will initialize and load Cocoa:

(objc:ensure-objc-initialized

  :modules

  '("/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation"

    "/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa"))
