a deadend?
In iOS (and many other UI frameworks), the main thread runs a
message/event loop which provides callback/synchronization
functionality. Something like that (schematic):
while (HasMessage ()) {
var msg = DequeueMessage ()
if (msg is Callback)
msg.InvokeCallback (msg.Arguments)
...
}
Usually, these UI frameworks also provide an "InvokeOnUIThread" method
which injects a special message into the event queue.
You'd have to implement (or reuse) a similar event loop approach for
your own threads.
