Client-Side Slice-to-Objective-C Mapping

18.1 Chapter Overview

In this chapter, we present the client-side Slice-to-Objective‑C mapping (see Chapter 20 for the server-side mapping). One part of the client-side Objective‑C mapping concerns itself with rules for representing each Slice data type as a corre­sponding Objective‑C type; we cover these rules in Sections 18.3 to 18.11. Another part of the mapping deals with how clients can invoke operations, pass and receive parameters, and handle exceptions. These topics are covered in Sections 18.12 to 18.14. Slice classes have the characteristics of both data types and interfaces and are covered in Sections 18.15 and 18.16. Section 18.17 presents asynchronous invocations, and Section 18.18 discusses how to use the slice2objc compiler.
