The 'context' argument is not retained. You can infer this primarily by the declaration of dispatch_set_context(), and also the mention that 'context' is "client defined" in dispatch/object.h; since the 'context' argument is an untyped pointer (void *), dispatch_set_context() cannot assume anything about the supplied 'context' argument, much less that it's a valid libdispatch object. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
