I have multiple concurrent XML Document parsing going on in the background through NSXMLDocument and I don't think that it safe, even though the documentation states that NSXMLDocument is thread safe. I am getting this error randomly:
Warning: NSBundle NSBundle </System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/XQuery.framework> (loaded) was released too many times. For compatibility, it will not be deallocated, but this may change in the future. Set a breakpoint on __NSBundleOverreleased() to debug
And documents fail during parsing, if I switch the GCD queue to be serial the problems go away. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Here is a sample of the code that is running it (the XML parsing happens in the ForecastDownloader):
NSMutableArray *weatherObjects = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();
dispatch_queue_t serialQueue;
serialQueue = dispatch_queue_create("us.mattshepherd.ForecasterSerialQueue", NULL);
for (NSDictionary *theLocation in self.weatherLocations) {
// Add a task to the group
dispatch_group_async(group, queue, ^{
NSLog(@"dispatching...");
ForecastDownloader *forecastDownloader = [[ForecastDownloader alloc] init];
int i = 0;
WeatherObject *weatherObject = [forecastDownloader getForecast:[theLocation objectForKey:@"lat"] lng:[theLocation objectForKey:@"lng"] weatherID:[[theLocation objectForKey:@"id"] intValue]];
}
if(!weatherObject){
//need to implement delegate method to show problem updating weather
NSLog(@"problem updating weather data");
}else{
NSLog(@"got weather for location...");
dispatch_sync(serialQueue, ^{
[weatherObjects addObject:weatherObject];
});
}
});
}
// wait on the group to block the current thread.
dispatch_group_wait(group, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
NSLog(@"finished getting weather for all locations...");
//we will now do something with the weatherObjects
