NSThread exit 方法

+ (void)exit

Terminates the current thread.

Discussion

This method uses the currentThread class method to access the current thread. Before exiting the thread, this method posts the NSThreadWillExitNotification with the thread being exited to the default notification center. Because notifications are delivered synchronously, all observers of NSThreadWillExitNotification are guaranteed to receive the notification before the thread exits.

Invoking this method should be avoided as it does not give your thread a chance to clean up any resources it allocated during its execution.

之前一直以为运行中的线程是不可以结束掉的，但是看到手册里的这个方法，发现是可以结束的。

这个方法是用来Exit当前线程，如果在Main Thread里调用此方法，会Exit Main Thread。

在Exit Thread之前系统会发出 NSThreadWillExitNotification的通知。

下面是例子:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 

                                             selector:@selector(threadWillExitNotification:) 

                                                 name:@"NSThreadWillExitNotification" 

                                               object:nil];

    

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(method3) toTarget:self withObject:nil];

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(method4) toTarget:self withObject:nil];

- (void)method3

{

    NSAutoreleasePool *apool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

    [[NSThread currentThread] setName:@"MyThread"];

    int n = 0;

    while (1) {

        NSLog(@"n -> %d", n);

        if (n > 10) {

            [[NSThread currentThread] cancel];

        }

        

        if ([[NSThread currentThread] isCancelled]) {

            [NSThread exit];

        }

        n++;

    }

    

    

    [apool drain];

}

- (void)method4

{

    NSAutoreleasePool *apool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

    int m = 0;

    while (1) {

        NSLog(@"m -> %d", m);

        m++;

    }

    

    

    [apool drain];

}

- (void)threadWillExitNotification:(NSNotification *)notification

{

    NSLog(@"notification -> %@", notification);

}
