I just noticed in the documentation the following description:
Note, unlike in Cocoa (and perhaps OpenStep), the thread will not
exit when the method finishes execution.
You must call [Thread +exit] yourself (from the thread) to terminate
it.
Is there a good reason for deviating from Cocoa?
To me the Cocoa behaviour looks more natural. The GNUstep
behaviour forces you to know if a method is started with
[NSThread detachNewThread...].
So in a multi threaded program you should write a method
as follows:
- doSomethingInteresting
{
arp = [NSAutoreleasePool new];
// Do interesting stuff
DESTROY (arp)
if we are stared from a different thread
{
[NSThread exit];
}
}
The last part worries me, it seems you need to have knowledge
on how you are called.
I am probably missing something very obvious.
