This works like a treat and is faster by a factor 3 or so than using the "Moriarity" implementation. However, it leaves me a bit concerned about various warnings all over the place concerning the thread (un)safety of NSTask and NSFileHandle. So my question is: is the kind of approach that I am taking doable / reasonable? If not, is there an alternative way of doing this which is more efficient than the "Moriarty" code? Thanks a lot in advance for any help / hint,
NSFileHandle *msgHandle = [standardInput fileHandleForReading];
[msgHandle waitForDataInBackgroundAndNotify];
- (void)newMessage:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSString *strOutput = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:[msgHandle
availableData] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
//Process the data
[msgHandle waitForDataInBackgroundAndNotify];
}
This is what I'm using in one of my Cocoa apps. I don't know if it's
faster, but I would assume so, since there is no loop. Also, If i've
interpreted the documentation correctly, the method is run in the main
thread so you don't have to worry about anything being thread safe.
