If I create a thread using pthreads, will that thread have an associated run loop or do I have to create one explicitly? The documentation I've read was not clear on this point.
Run loop creation/destruction is handled automatically.

I saw that, but this statement from <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Multithreading/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000057i> made me wonder about pthreads:
Note: If you use the higher-level Carbon and Cocoa interfaces, a run loop is set up for your thread automatically. If you use the lower level thread interfaces, such as Darwin threads, you must manually create a run loop for your thread.
I'm not sure if by Darwin threads, they mean pthreads. If so, I'm not sure how to go about creating my own run loop. geoff _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
