NSPipe and its NSFileHandles work as you expect: when the read/write file handles created via NSPipe are deallocated, the underlying descriptors are closed. Along with Jean-Daniel Dupas, I created a simple test case and it behaves as expected. (I've also been using NSPipe/NSFileHandle extensively for years and have never come across anything like you described.) I'd be interested in seeing a test case showing the incorrect behavior. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
