This. Although I would also consider looking at your code to see if it can be refactored to avoid using recursion; a recursive algorithm can always be turned into an iterative one that uses a (growable) stack data structure to hold state. Unbounded recursion can be dangerous, especially when it’s operating on external data. If you do stick with the custom-thread approach, consider putting in an explicit recursion-depth check in your code so you can abort it cleanly before blowing up the stack. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
