did you try looking at the documentation for NSThread? There's an
NSThreadWillExitNotification listed there, sent to the default
notification center just before the thread goes out of existence when
+exit is called. Earlier in the documentation it says that after
detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject: is called, the detached
thread is exited (using the exit class method) as soon as aTarget has
completed executing the aSelector method. So it would seem quite likely
that notification would do what you want.

Hello, all ...
I've another n00b Cocoa question: How can I wait for a thread to
finish without depending on a flag that may be reset and set before
the thread i'm waiting for has time to check it? For instance, in
Win32 (i'm not saying Win32 is the best, it's just what i've the most
experience in), I can ::WaitForSingleObject(thread_id). In Cocoa,
once I start the new thread via NSThread detachNewThreadSelector(),
how can I be sure it ended i.e. how can I wait for it to end before
starting another? Can I have Cocoa notify me when a thread ends,
like it notifies me when an observed property changes?

John
