Multiple conditional %init in one %ctor about logos

[kirb]

%init; or %init(); with no group name implies initialising _ungrouped. Groups can’t override each other — actually you can have a hook for the same method in multiple groups and they will be applied in the order you init them. Nothing is overridden on Logos’ level; it’s just allowing you to control exactly where in the program Logos places the calls to Substrate to create the hooks.

Running Logos directly or checking for the processed Logos output under .theos/obj/arm64/Tweak.x.m might help you to understand what exactly Logos is doing and if it might be an issue on our side. See my example below.

Logos input

%hook Thing
- (id)description { returm @"Thing"; }
- (NSInteger)florps { return 5; }
%end

%group MyGroup
%hook Thing
- (id)description { return [%orig stringByAppendingString:@" (of doom)"]; }
- (id)anotherThing { return nil; }
%end
%end

BOOL something = YES;

%ctor {
        %init;
        if (something) {
                %init(MyGroup);
        }
}

Hi @kirb, thanks for answering! It turned out that one of my MSHookMessageEx crashed, so it seems the init is overwritten. Deleting the crash code will work like you said.

btw, in my path .theos/obj/debug/arm64, I didn't see a Tweak.x.m like yours, just Tweak.xm.f4523a75.Td and Tweak.xm.f4523a75.o. Did I miss anything? Thank you.

I think this thread can be closed then
