I’m pretty sure I understand the difference between NSCondition and semaphores (from the c api).
Which one is more commonly used by Apple developers, and more particularly, iPhone developers?
In my experience, “neither”. For whatever reason, semaphores just aren’t commonly used enough for a popularity contest to matter much.
I’m a big fan of dispatch_semaphore though. Very clever implementation.
