Skip a super class when calling a super method?

Question

This may seem strange, but I would like to do the following:

Class A

- (void)someMethod;

Class B : A

- (void)someMethod; // overrides

Class C : B

- (void)someMethod; // overrides

In class C, I would like to override a method present in the two super classes, but call only Class A's method on a [super methodName] call.

- (void)someMethod
{
  [super someMethod];  // but I want to call class A, not B
}

Possible?

Answer 1

Something like this should work:

// in Class C:
#import <objc/runtime.h>

- (void)someMethod
{
    // I want to call class A's implementation of this method

    IMP method = class_getMethodImplementation([ClassA class], _cmd);

    method(self, _cmd);

}
