Hi All.
I'm having a really hard time when trying to cancel requests in an NSOperationQueue.
Before deallocating my 'engine' object, I call a cancelOperations method to cancel everything in the queue, so this will include in flight ASIHTTPRequests and queued ones... e.g.
Engine.m
-(void)getContent {
if (![self queue]) {
[self setQueue:[[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init] autorelease]];
}
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://allseeing-i.com"];
ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request setDidFinishSelector:@selector(requestDone:)];
[[self queue] addOperation:request]; //queue is an NSOperationQueue
}
-(void)requestDone:(ASIHTTPRequest)*request {
// Do something with request
}
-(void)cancelOperations {
[self.queue cancelAllOperations];
[self.queue waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished];
}
-(void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
}
Now, In my engine I have a number of getContent type methods, so my queue has different request objects in it. The flow when using an Engine object is:
1) Open View Controller - view did load - alloc and init Engine object
2) // Call various getContent style methods to queue up some operations
3) Upon view exit, call [engine cancelOperations]; in order to (a) Stop any network requests in flight, and to also empty the queue
4) Deallocate the view, and with that the engine: [engine release];
This works fine if all requests have finished in the queue (as it's empty), however if I cancelOperations whilst a request is active, the application crashes with a EXC_BAD_ACCESS error... but AFTER the engine is deallocated successfully...
Any ideas why this would be?
