Re: The thread that starts by NSTask didn't clear up



Hi,

thanks for your reply. I means in my project, I want to use NSTask to launch an application, and send application some parameters, when use NSTask launch application that will add a new thread, right?

As far as I understand, you use NSTask to launch your application. But this does not imply that a new thread is created to monitor the launched process, unless of course, if you setup your own thread to monitor the process.
So I think you assume that NSTask will use a thread but this is wrong. NSTask is just a wrapper around execve(), no threading involved here.


and then send Apple event, when application received Apple event , it will quit, usually, the thread starts by NSTask will exit, because the application had quit, so I don't understand this, if use NSTask launch application more times, thread count will always increased, even if application had quit. I appreciate that any reply, thank you very much.

You can use ThreadViewer to convince yourself that there's no threading involved by using NSTask.

I started an AP use NSTask in my project ,when I loaded this AP, thread count will be increased ,after sending apple event to AP , and AP will exit, but thread count can't decrease. If I used this method load AP more times, thread count will increased, but there was no problem on tiger, just present leopard. Sorry for my poor english.

I assume that "AP" acually means "application".
I understand that you send some Apple event to your application like a "quit' event, right?
You say that your application exit. OK. So what process the threads you're talking about belong to?
Where does NSTask come into this?


You have to be more precise to get an answer...
