I've been using a secondary RunLoop in a thread, and it has DO

which caused the thread's loop to return from the run method call.
Now, I've added an NSURLConnection to the mix, and I'm using this
asynchronously. However, I cannot, no matter what I try to do, figure
out how to remove the sources it adds so my run loop will end. I've
tried, honest.
I'm going to try and use CFRunLoopStop. However, before I give this a
shot, I'd like to know that a run loop cleans up its own sources when
deconstructred. Once returning from run, I'll be exiting the thread
which I assume releases the loop for the thread. Does the runloop
deallocate its sources as well when it does this?
I could figure this out, but I've been banging my head on this one for
a couple of days, and I have quite a few dents in my head. I thought
if someone new, maybe it would save me some extra brain damage.
At least for NSRunLoop, the better way to stop a loop is to run it for
a short time, check to see if you should exit, run it for a short time
again, etc. As for your question, if the run loop retained its sources,
it will release its sources when deallocated.
