Hey folks, I have a runloop on a thread that looks like this: while (! _cancelled) { NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];[runloop runMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode beforeDate:[NSDate distantFuture]];[pool release]; }And I put a timer in the loop that sets _cancelled to true, the runloop never stops. What's the proper way to do this?
Don't run it until the distant future; that'll cause the call to block until some time in 400X, by which time you probably won't be using your current Mac anymore. :) Instead, you should run shorter intervals (like a second from now), and if you need NSEvents to trigger during the time, then you should probably use -[NSApplication nextEventMatchingMask:...] instead with dequeueing. That method also runs the specified run loop.
