You *really* need to read the docs on blocks and GCD since they are the "modern" way of writing threaded code, implementing callbacks, etc. I'd

OK, will do that.

if I try to pass on someString in a C struct (contextInfo) then the
compiler complains that ARC doesn't like object pointers in C structs. I could serialize and unserialize the string. Or is there a better way?

Just use the NSString * right in the block - no need for structs,
serialization, or anything.  That's why blocks are so useful.


I still need an alternative because I want to support Leopard where blocks aren't available. I've written some code using NSPropertyListSerialization which should do the trick.
