mlUnderstanding the inner workings: getting to know how functions are called

Hi everyone,

Sometimes when I subclass an existing Cocoa class, I wonder how its 
methods are called; when in time, from what other function (possible 
from another instance of another class) etc.

The "idiot" way of implementing this could of course be to add _all_ 
method names of the class in question and then just call [super 
methodName] in each method, and then use some debug macro before and 
after that call that prints the name of the method in question. That 
really isn't that productive and seems like a waste of time.

Could anyone point me in the right direction here? I'm open to all 
suggestions...

Regards
Mattias
