Multithreaded

[David]

I am reimplementing the cocoa stack manager example to use grand central dispatch to offload all Bluetooth calls off the main thread.

Are there any gotchas I need to be aware of? If I get it working, what interest is there to have this as part of the code base?

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave

I guess the main gotcha with that is that only one thread can call the function to send a packet over the socket to the BTdaemon at the same time, so you would need a mutex there.

However, I'm wondering why you would like to do that. The client app, like the cocoa example, only send and receive packets from/to the daemon. This means, I don't expect that code to block at all as the unix socket provides some buffering.

Best
Matthias
