Equivalent of Ruby's "method_missing" in objectice C ?

[codeflakes]

In Ruby when a class receives a message that it does not implement, the method_missing method is called so you can react to this.
Is there a way to do the same in objective C ?

You can set a forwarding target for all unrecognized messages:

- (id)forwardingTargetForSelector:(SEL)aSelector

Or you can check unrecognized messages and repsond to them by defining

- (void)forwardInvocation:(NSInvocation *)anInvocation

There's a little example here
Mac Dev Center: NSObject Class Reference

Any idea how to suppress warning when calling a non existent message ?
If I call [Object method] and which to catch the unknow "method" I got a warning at compilation but in my case this is exactly what I want to do.
But the compile does not take into account my forwardingTargetForSelector implementation

Answer to myself
Explicitly call the unknown message from a selector

[object performSelector:@selector(method)]
