Fixed incorrect comment about [NSDate distantPast]. We aren't seeking to
block for an infinite amount of time but rather to not block at all. Also added a bit of an overview since apparently the purpose of this code was not readily apparent even with the existing comments. git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@29986 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775

<EFBFBD> <20>RN: We used to use nil as the untilDate in previous versions since nil
|
||||
<EFBFBD> <EFBFBD>is a shorter and more concise way of specifying an infinite amount of
|
||||
<EFBFBD><EFBFBD> <20>time than [NSDate distantPast]. <20>However, Apple neglects to mention in
|
||||
<EFBFBD> <EFBFBD>their documentation that nil is not handled correctly in OSX 10.2
|
||||
<EFBFBD> <EFBFBD>(and possibly lower) and when the call is reached the system comes to
|
||||
<EFBFBD> <20>a screeching halt, therefore we need to specify [NSDate distantPast]
|
||||
<EFBFBD> <EFBFBD>explicitly so that wxCocoa will work correctly in OSX 10.2.
|
||||
This overridden method calls the superclass method with an untilDate
|
||||
parameter that indicates nil should be returned if there are no pending
|
||||
events. That is, nextEventMatchingMask: should not wait for an event.
|
||||
If nil is returned then idle event processing occurs until the user
|
||||
does not request anymore idle events or until a real event comes through.
|
||||
|
||||
Apple documentation states that nil can be passed in place of
|
||||
[NSDate distantPast] to the untilDate parameter. However, according
|
||||
to Ryan Norton this crashes on Jaguar (10.2).
