Hi all, The following works just fine in non-GC apps when called in an IBAction method:
NSSpeechSynthesizer* speechSynthesizer = [[[NSSpeechSynthesizer alloc] init] autorelease]; [speechSynthesizer startSpeakingString: @"Hello. I'm Macintosh. It sure is great to get out of that bag."]; In GC apps it crashes (non main thread): #0 0x907586e8 in objc_msgSend () #1 0x952f6f23 in SpeechDoneProc () #2 0x1f00d979 in MTBEDoneTask::Execute () #3 0x1f018b01 in MTBEWorker::WorkLoop () #4 0x1f018b5d in MTBEWorkerStartMPTask () #5 0x91ec555b in PrivateMPEntryPoint () #6 0x96fa76f5 in _pthread_start () #7 0x96fa75b2 in thread_start () I'm guessing this is because the speechSynthesizer is collected before it finishes speaking. Is this 'correct behaviour' or a bug? Needless to say, the docs say nothing about special considerations for garbage collection. My speechSynthesizer has no delegate, and I don't care when it starts or stops speaking. Shouldn't that make it NSSpeechSynthesizer's job to keep itself alive until it finishes speaking? Afterall, _I'm_ finished with the speechSynthesizer. Thanks, -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
