NSBezierPath EXC_BAD_ACCESS issues.

Hi all, I have a shape class containing an attribute: NSBezierPath *path; initialisation: path = [[NSBezierPath alloc] init]; [self setBezierPath]; setBezierPath: path = [NSBezierPath bezierPath]; then add the paths and close path. paint: [path setLineWidth: 1]; [path fill]; It all worked w

Re: NSBezierPath EXC_BAD_ACCESS issues.

Your setBezierPath method is making a new, autoreleased path, it isn't using the one you created at initialisation. That is then autoreleased leaving stale, hence the crash. You're also leaking the first path you made. If setBezierPath is there to simply set up the bezier path, it shouldn't mak

In this line: NSRect frameRect = [[statusItem view] frame]; the method -view is returning nil, and thus so is -frame, which means frameRect contains garbage (or NSZeroRect if you're lucky). Create a dummy view and give it to the status item before asking for the frame. Keep in mind, you will onl

In 10.6 you can also do this by setting a dispatch queue on which you want a block invoked when a signal comes in. If you give it the main dispatch queue, that's like installing on the runloop of the main thread. See . This is also nice because it's in _addition_ to signal handlers, not a replac
