Uhm, if the reason for this rare case is to avoid race conditions, you should rethink your design ;) Your design is OK if you have no race conditions, at any legal usage of your API. Of course, you could say "This API is not thread safe and can be used only from the main thread." However, this would be a rather harsh limitation._______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
