NSFileManager thread safety?


  • Subject: NSFileManager thread safety?
  • From: David Cake <email@hidden>
  • Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:51:35 +0800

The following code snippet works fine from my main thread.
	 NSFileManager *tempFileManager = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];
	 NSString *path= [self tempDirPath];
	 if(![tempFileManager  removeItemAtPath: path  error: nil]) {
	 NSLog(@"failed to remove temp files");
	 }
[tempFileManager release];

But from within
-(NSApplicationTerminateReply)applicationShouldTerminate:(NSApplication *)sender
or other delegate methods, it gets my EXC_BAD_ACCESS on the removeItemAtPath call
- any suggestions? I thought NSFileManager was supposed to be thread-safe in 10.5 and 10.6?


If this is a thread safety issue (and given the code works in the main thread, I'm not sure what other issues might be the problem), what is the solution to force calling it from the main thread?

Thanks In Advance

	David
