A subclass of NSManagedObject needs to observe some stuff.
So, in -awakeFromFetch and -awakeFromInsert, I invoke an -initializeObservers
method which adds observers like this…
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(fooNote:)
name:@“fooIt”
object:self] ;
And then in -willTurnIntoFault, and also in -didTurnIntoFault, I remove such
observers
[self removeObservers:nil] ;
* * *
This normally works OK, but in some edge cases which I’ve not been able to
reproduce but have analyzed by poking around with the debugger, the fooNote:
selector does not get invoked as expected when a qualifying notification (name
= fooIt, object = that object) is posted and I wait for coalescing. If I
release this object and re-fetch it from the store, notifications start working
again.
I’m thinking this could happen if maybe -willTurnIntoFault ran for some reason,
but then object was brought back to life somehow without -awakeFromFetch
running.
Is that possible? Am I using the correct design pattern for adding and
removing observers? Is it completely bullet-proof?
Thanks,
Jerry Krinock
