[Openmcl-devel] Question about objc/cocoa bridge

[Paul Krueger]

In newer OS versions almost everything having to do with user interfaces must be run on the main event processing thread. It used to just do strange things if you ran things on the wrong thread, but now it at least generates an error. 

If you just run something in the listener window you won’t be running on the main thread.

In my own code I define and use the following macro:

(defmacro on-main-thread (&rest actions)
  `(ccl::call-in-event-process
     #'(lambda ()
         , at actions)))

Then wrap all top-level calls in your code with this macro:

(on-main-thread
   (<your code>))

and I expect the error will go away.
