Stack trace for exceptions trimmed off on Lion?

2011-08-07 Thread Oleg Krupnov
Hi, I've occasionally noticed after upgrading to Lion that my exception handling code no longer provides full stack trace, but only some trimmed piece. For example, I performed the following experiment. There is an -emulateCrash: action method, implemented in MyWindowController, attached to a

Thanks for sharing with the list. I wonder what the purpose of NSURLConnection is in this solution? Aren't you in effect throwing away the benefits of asynchronous loading? The NSInputstream can block, and NSXMLParser presumably will. You will also have to deal with events in several places,

The purpose of the NSURLConnection is to deal with HTTP… How else would you propose dealing with it? I'm not sure why you think this throws away benefits of async loading, can you clarify that? Thanks Tom Davie On 7 Aug 2011, at 12:47, Mikkel Islay wrote: Thanks for sharing with the list.

Interesting. Not sure if could be possible to convert the text to an image, apply a gradient and use one of the copy method of NSImage. I needed a break from coding data migration, hence the pause trying this. Now, I'm back to the boring part ;-) Looks like your image didn't pass the list.
