Hi All, I am sorry if I have posted to cross dev-lists.
I am in a very strange situation. I am bit new to Mac. I had an existing desktop application. I wanted to run this application inside Firefox process for some requirement. So I just built my existing application as bundle and started running the application main body in a different thread inside firefox process. As a result of that Firefox has its own RunApplicationEventLoop() and its application queue. And in the secondary thread I created to run my application also has one more RunApplicationEventLoop(). Inside my application I have a idleTimer proc that's keeps fetching the events from main Application's queue and re fires the events to different controls in my application. After this simple change, everything (my application as well as Firefox) was working fine on Tiger and PPC. But when I run the same on Leapord, firefox's main thread is crashing predominantly at the following place if I keep the firefox app idle for a mintute or so. 0 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x959ee13c CFRunLoopAddObserver + 44 1 com.apple.AppKit 0x9628bd0b -[NSApplication setWindowsNeedUpdate:] + 271 2 com.apple.Foundation 0x96b8fb13 __NSThreadPerformPerform + 547 3 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x959f0615 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 3141 4 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x959f0cf8 CFRunLoopRunInMode + 88 5 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x90499da4 RunCurrentEventLoopInMode + 283 6 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x90499bbd ReceiveNextEventCommon + 374 7 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x904f85f2 _AcquireNextEvent + 58 8 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x904f6d4f RunApplicationEventLoop + 207 9 org.mozilla.firefox 0x00237f3f nsAppShell::~nsAppShell() + 133 10 org.mozilla.firefox 0x002c3cde nsAppStartup::DestroyExitEvent(PLEvent*) + 148 11 org.mozilla.firefox 0x0000656e XRE_main + 5892 12 org.mozilla.firefox 0x00003178 main + 32 13 org.mozilla.firefox 0x000030fe start + 270 14 org.mozilla.firefox 0x00003019 start + 41 When firefox crashed, following the call trace of my secondary (applications) thread. #0 0x934f84a6 in mach_msg_trap #1 0x934ffc9c in mach_msg #2 0x95cfe0ce in CFRunLoopRunSpecific #3 0x95cfecf8 in CFRunLoopRunInMode #4 0x9552dda4 in RunCurrentEventLoopInMode #5 0x9552dbbd in ReceiveNextEventCommon #6 0x9558c5f2 in _AcquireNextEvent #7 0x9558ad4f in RunApplicationEventLoop #8 0x1129b6b9 in CRealApp::Run at CRealApp.cpp:622 #9 0x112bbffc in CWinAppImpl::Run at CWinAppPPImpl.cpp:386 #10 0x112bc0ff in RunContributeMain at CWinAppPPImpl.cpp:263 #11 0x111cd519 in IBEThreadProc at CContributeApp.cpp:32 #12 0x935296f5 in _pthread_start #13 0x935295b2 in thread_start The last call from my app is CRealApp::Run(), that has the main event loop of our app (RunApplicationEventLoop). In the other thread, the complete application is running. This thread is also doing UI work. You think of a application running in this thread, so whatever application does, something happens here also. I spoke with my senior colleagues regarding this, from them I got the information that in an application all UI work must happen in one thread and we should only have one RunApplicationEventLoop() for the application. But for me at this point of time, pulling out all the UI code from my secondary thread to the Firefox's application thread and making changes for single RunApplicationEventLoop will be time consuming and I may not able to do now. Is there are hack that I can do to fix this crash. Is there anybody who had this kind of situation. Could you please through some pointers ?.
