Source-level compatibility of runtime(s) with Apple

[Ivan Vučica]

Hi,

I've ran into a difference between runtime on Debian and Apple's runtime in the function name conventions. For example:

Class classFromIsa;

#if GNUSTEP

classFromIsa = objc_lookup_class([isaStr UTF8String]);

#else

classFromIsa = objc_lookUpClass([isaStr UTF8String]);

#endif

I wanted to ask whether the GNU/GNUstep runtime could additionally include the Apple variant of the function name, but fortunately I looked at libobjc2 source code first. From what I can see, there the Apple's style of the function name is used. 

What is the future policy regarding this? What should the above #if check for?

Have fun,
