Rob: That’s highly relevant to me. The particular app I’m working on was Windows first, although I hope soon that we’ll have a Mac version. Does assert() in other threads do anything at all?

FYI – In multithreaded applications, assert does not work properly on Tiger. For anything other than the main thread, core is not dumped.

I filed this with Apple, and it is supposedly fixed in Leopard. I haven’t taken the plunge to Leopard to verify this. Implication from the responses on the bug are that it won’t be fixed in Tiger.

Good mantra. I believe the same truth, yet fail to apply it often enough.

(And yet people still implement their own xlists …)
