  This file declares the "modern" GNU Objective-C Runtime API.
  Include this file to use it.

  This API is replacing the "traditional" GNU Objective-C Runtime API
  (declared in objc/objc-api.h) which is the one supported by older
  versions of the GNU Objective-C Runtime.  The "modern" API is very
  similar to the API used by the modern Apple/NeXT runtime.

  Because the two APIs have some conflicting definitions (in
  particular, Method and Category are defined differently) you should
  include either objc/objc-api.h (to use the traditional GNU
  Objective-C Runtime API) or objc/runtime.h (to use the modern GNU
  Objective-C Runtime API), but not both.
*/

#ifdef __objc_api_INCLUDE_GNU
# error You can not include both objc/objc-api.h and objc/runtime.h.  Include objc/objc-api.h for the traditional GNU Objective-C Runtime API and objc/runtime.h for the modern one.

/* 'objc_enumerationMutation()' is called when a collection is
   mutated while being "fast enumerated".  That is a hard error, and
   objc_enumerationMutation is called to deal with it.  'collection'
   is the collection object that was mutated during an enumeration.

   objc_enumerationMutation() will invoke the mutation handler if any
   is set.  Then, it will abort the program.

   Compatibility note: the Apple runtime will not abort the program
   after calling the mutation handler.
 */
objc_EXPORT void objc_enumerationMutation (id collection);

/* 'objc_set_enumeration_mutation_handler' can be used to set a
   function that will be called (instead of aborting) when a fast
   enumeration is mutated during enumeration.  The handler will be
   called with the 'collection' being mutated as the only argument and
   it should not return; it should either exit the program, or could
   throw an exception.  The recommended implementation is to throw an
   exception - the user can then use exception handlers to deal with
   it.

   This function is not thread safe (other threads may be trying to
   invoke the enumeration mutation handler while you are changing it!)
   and should be called during during the program initialization
   before threads are started.  It is mostly reserved for "Foundation"
   libraries; in the case of GNUstep, GNUstep Base may be using this
   function to improve the standard enumeration mutation handling.
   You probably shouldn't use this function unless you are writing
   your own Foundation library.

   included in all Objective-C files).  Note that it is usually
   defined again with the name of NSFastEnumeration by "Foundation"
   libraries such as GNUstep Base.  And if NSFastEnumeration is
   defined, the compiler will use it instead of
   __objcFastEnumerationState when doing fast enumeration.
