objc.h: Updated comments.

2010-10-11  Nicola Pero  <nicola.pero@meta-innovation.com>

        * objc/objc.h: Updated comments.
        * objc/objc-api.h: (object_copy): Added one argument; use a
        #define to maintain backwards-compatibility.  Moved
        _objc_object_alloc, _objc_object_copy, _objc_object_dispose and
        objc_get_uninstalled_dtable into
        objc/deprecated/objc_get_uninstalled_dtable.h and
        objc/deprecated/objc_object_alloc.h.  Include these files.
        * objc/deprecated/objc_get_uninstalled_dtable.h: New.
        * objc/deprecated/objc_object_alloc.h: New.
        * objc/runtime.h (set_getName): New.

        (sel_registerName): New.
        (sel_registerTypedName): New.
        (sel_isEqual): New.
        (class_createInstance): New.
        (object_copy): New.
        (object_dispose): New.
        * objects.c: Do not include tconfig.h.  Include gc_typed.h if
        building the garbage collection version.
        (__objc_object_alloc): Removed.
        (__objc_object_copy): Removed.
        (__objc_object_dispose): Removed.
        (class_createInstance): New from code in class_create_instance.
        Cast second argument of GC_malloc_explicitly_typed.  Use
        objc_calloc.  Do not call _objc_object_alloc.
        (class_create_instance): Call class_createInstance.
        (object_copy): Added extraBytes argument.  Do not call
        _objc_object_copy.
        (object_dispose): Do not call _objc_object_dispose.
        * memory.c (objc_free): When using garbage collection, mark the
        argument as unused.
        * selector.c (sel_getName): New.
        (sel_get_name): Call sel_getName.
        (sel_getType): New.
        (sel_get_type): Call sel_getType.
        (sel_registerName): New.
        (sel_register_name): Call sel_registerName.
