replacementObjectForPortCoder:

Return Value 戻り値

The object encode instead of the receiver (if different). エンコードするオブジェクト、レシーバの代理（異なるならば）。

Discussion 解説

This method is invoked by NSPortCoder. NSObject’s implementation returns an NSDistantObject object for the object returned by replacementObjectForCoder:, enabling all objects to be distributed by proxy as the default. However, if replacementObjectForCoder: returns nil, NSObject’s implementation will also return nil.

Subclasses that want to be passed by copy instead of by reference must override this method and return self. The following example shows how to support object replacement both by copy and by reference:

- (id)replacementObjectForPortCoder:(NSPortCoder *)encoder {
    return [encoder isByref] ? [super replacementObjectForPortCoder:encoder] : self;
}
