Count number of time a class method is called in Objective-C

Question

There is already a topic there showing how to count the number of times a instance method is called within the program: Count the number of times a method is called in Cocoa-Touch?

The code described there is working well with an instance method, but it isn't working with a class method. Somebody knows how to do ?

Answer 1

Just use a static int:

+(void)myClassMethod{
  static int count = 0;
  count++;

  //your code
}

Edit: This is pretty stupid now I think of it since you can't retrieve the count from outside the method.
Still you can log it or send the value with a notification or any other way...

Edit 2:
Or you could use another class method to store your counter:

+(int)countAfterIncrement:(BOOL)increment{
  static int count = 0;
  if (increment)
    count ++;
  return count;
}

+(void)myClassMethod{
      [MyClass countAfterIncrement:YES];

      //your code
 }

To retrieve the value just use [MyClass countAfterIncrement:NO];
