Enumerate property names and types for any class?

[david.ri...@enquora.com]

How does one enumerate a class property list in Objective-J, returning the property name and type for each?

The Objective-C class_copyPropertyList does not seem to exist in the Objective-J runtime.

Looking at the raw Javascript object has given me the property names ($CPObjectAccessorsForClassKey), but no more.

We need to dynamically build search predicates for representedObjects in multiple collection views as well as populate the template for a predicate editor, each to be used with a variety of classes.

Manually designing the predicate editor or creating class methods listing the searchable properties is a fallback, but would rather do this using reflection.

The answer seems to be using the enumerated property names in MyClass($CPObjectAccessorsForClassKey) to look up individual property types in myClass["ivar_dtypes"].

This is obviously implementation dependent - I'm guessing that class_copyPropertyList and property_getAttributes are awaiting volunteer effort to implement in the objj runtime rather than there being a technical impediment?

Am I barking up the wrong tree?
