如何在NSThread中等待,直到iOS发生某些事件？

Question

在iOS中发生某些事件之前,如何在NSThread内等待？

例如,我们创建了一个NSThread并启动了一个线程循环.在线程循环内部,有条件检查消息队列是否有任何消息.如果有消息,那么它将调用相应的方法来执行某些操作,否则它应该等到消息队列填充新消息.

是否有任何API或方法可用于等待某些事件发生？

For Example 

NSThread *thread = [NSThread alloc]....@selector(threadLoop)

- (void)threadLoop
{
   // Expecting some API or method that wait until some messages pushed into the message queue
   if (...) {

   }
}

任何帮助应该被赞赏.

您可以使用NSCondition.我在ViewController中附加了示例代码"ready-for-test"

@interface ViewController ()

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSCondition *condition;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSThread *aThread;

// use this property to indicate that you want to lock _aThread
@property (nonatomic) BOOL lock;

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    // start with the thread locked, update the boolean var
    self.lock = YES;

    // create the NSCondition instance
    self.condition = [[NSCondition alloc]init];

    // create the thread and start
    self.aThread = [[NSThread alloc] initWithTarget:self selector:@selector(threadLoop) object:nil];
    [self.aThread start];

}

-(void)threadLoop
{
    while([[NSThread currentThread] isCancelled] == NO)
    {
        [self.condition lock];
        while(self.lock)
        {
            NSLog(@"Will Wait");
            [self.condition wait];

            // the "did wait" will be printed only when you have signaled the condition change in the sendNewEvent method
            NSLog(@"Did Wait");
        }

        // read your event from your event queue
        ...


        // lock the condition again
        self.lock = YES;
        [self.condition unlock];
    }

}

- (IBAction)sendNewEvent:(id)sender {
    [self.condition lock];
    // put the event in the queue
    ...


    self.lock = NO;
    [self.condition signal];
    [self.condition unlock];
}
