spawing a server...


  • Subject: spawing a server...

I want to spawn a communications server in main.mm

MyServer s;
datatype ourDataQueue;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
try
{
s.start(ourDataQueue);
return NSApplicationMain(argc, (const char **) argv);
}
catch (const char *msg)
{
printf("%s\n", msg);

-1);
}
}

The idea here is that the server start method is a non blocking and
the server puts data into the dataQueue. (And then notifies its parent
thread that new data has arrived.. how I'm not sure yet.)

My question are:

I could have the start method do a fork/exec but is there a preferred
method such as a thread for Cocoa development? (Pointers please).

If a thread is spawned and places data into the queue then is there
any issues regarding a different thread accessing the queue?

Inter thread communications... Is there a Cocoa way?
