sleep block all threads not just one NSthreads

Question

I'm calling sleep() on an NSThread, ( I subclassed NSThread and put a run-loop in it) The thing is that this sleep call is blocking all threads not just my NSThread ...

What's the best way to get around this problem?

doesn't performSelector:AfterDelay cut it? – Kaan Dedeoglu May 19 '13 at 16:34 — Kaan Dedeoglu, May 19 '13 at 16:34

Using NSThread you should use the class method sleepForTimeInterval:. Check here the documentation.

The documentation says it blocks 'the thread', not 'all threads'. – Remover Jul 30 '13 at 14:49
I meant that he should use sleepForTimeInterval: and not sleep(). – e1985 Jul 30 '13 at 15:37
