+<h3 class="section">8.10 Messaging with the GNU Objective-C Runtime</h3>
+
+<p>This section is specific for the GNU Objective-C runtime. If you are
+using a different runtime, you can skip it.
+</p>
+<p>The implementation of messaging in the GNU Objective-C runtime is
+designed to be portable, and so is based on standard C.
+</p>
+<p>Sending a message in the GNU Objective-C runtime is composed of two
+separate steps. First, there is a call to the lookup function,
+<code>objc_msg_lookup ()</code> (or, in the case of messages to super,
+<code>objc_msg_lookup_super ()</code>). This runtime function takes as
+argument the receiver and the selector of the method to be called; it
+returns the <code>IMP</code>, that is a pointer to the function implementing
+the method. The second step of method invocation consists of casting
+this pointer function to the appropriate function pointer type, and
+calling the function pointed to it with the right arguments.
+</p>
+<p>For example, when the compiler encounters a method invocation such as
+<code>[object init]</code>, it compiles it into a call to
+<code>objc_msg_lookup (object, @selector(init))</code> followed by a cast
+of the returned value to the appropriate function pointer type, and
+then it calls it.
