I've got a situation where I have a complicated process that periodically pulls some bytes out of an NSMutableData. Eventually, it gets to the end of the NSMutableData. At that point, I need the process to block while it waits for a separate process (thread) to give it more data. What I need is a semaphored queue for a producer-consumer type of relationship.
I don't think there's any way to pull this off using GCD, is there? I can't change the complex process to work in discrete chunks. It needs to chug through the data until it reaches a stopping point, and that might require several waits on more data.
