Hi, Thx for the reply.
First I think you did not understood my questions. In other platform, it's possible to run the GUI main loop in any thread. On macosx, there is a difference between the main run loop and the other NSRunLoop. I am trying to isolate this difference in order to avoid to run the main loop in the main thread. Because I have no access to the main thread. I read this : "What especially distinguishes the main event loop is an input source called the event source, which is constructed when the global NSApplication<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSApplication_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/NSApplication>object ( NSApp<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSApplication_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/c/data/NSApp>) is initialized. The event source consists of a port for receiving events from the window server and a FIFO queue—the event queue—for holding those events until the application can process them" from apple doc, so I want to use addport on a NSRunLoop to attach the input source described beside. I am still suprising of a such limiation of Cocoa on MacOSX while it works perfectly with GNUstep. Well, my first mail was very big and maybe not clear so I understand why you reply those things. I am free for any suggestion. (I say again: no access to the main thread) Sincerey Julien 2009/7/8 lbland <lbl...@vvi.com> > > On Jul 8, 2009, at 4:34 AM, Julien Isorce wrote: > > Any kind of comment or suggestion would be appreciated. >> > > I can see you are just beginning to discover multi-threading. > > You need to break in gdb and backtrace all of the thread stacks.
