override UIView setFrame globally

Question

I want to make sure none of my views are misaligned and hence would want to use CGRectIntegral while setting frame on all the uiviews. But I don't want to make it so that all the devs just set the frame like they would normally (eg. view.frame = aCGRect) and it magically works. I tried to add a category and then override the setFrame: method for UIView but that (Obviously!) creates an infinite loop :

-(void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame{
  self.frame = CGRectIntegral(frame)
}

Is there a better way to do this than adding a utility function?

You can do it like : `-(void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame{ super.frame = CGRectIntegral(frame) }` — Midhun MP, Feb 14 '14 at 19:19
You shouldn't do that. Note this can create some funny effects during animations. — Sulthan, Feb 14 '14 at 19:32

If it's just for development/diagnosis, you could perhaps swizzle the original method (-[UIView setFrame:]) but call the original method in your implementation, passing the adjusted rect.

Thanks but I wanted a release solution and not just a debug solution. – Trunal Bhanse Feb 14 '14 at 19:53

It doesn't make sense to do this globally in release. – justin Feb 14 '14 at 20:07
