提到了resolveInstanceMethod，这个方法不仅在这里用，还用来实现消息的转发。
消息的转发就是向对象发送一个它本身并没有实现的消息，在运行时确定它实际产生的行为。
举个例子来说，一个Person对象，在运行时根据实际情况，决定是否响应fly这样的方法。如果条件具备，则fly被响应。否则，则不具备这样的方法。类似于AoP的做法。
要实现消息转发，需要覆盖三个方法：
1， resolveInstanceMethod（可选），这个方法为你提供了一个机会，在消息被发现本身没有在类中定义时你可以通过class_addMethod将它添加进去。如果你不这样做，不管你最终返回YES还是NO，程序都会jmp到下一个方法。
2， –(NSMethodSignature*)methodSignatureForSelector: (SEL) sel;通过覆盖这个方法，可以将你要转发的消息的签名创建并返回。如果在这里你返回nil，那么就会直接抛出异常。如果返回一个签名，则程序会jmp到第三个方法。这里返回的方法签名，必须满足两个条件之一（方法名相同||输入参数相同).
3， –(void)forwardInvocation:(NSInvocation * )anInvocation;在这里进行实际的方法调用。
