I am trying to spawn a thread in swift. So I have this line:
. . .
let thread = NSThread(target: self, selector: doSomething(), object: nil)
. . .
doSomething is a function within the scope of the class.
That line gives this error: "could not find an overload for init() that accepts the supplied arguments"
What am I missing here? Ho can I create a new thread in swift?
As of Xcode 7.3 and Swift 2.2, you can use the special form #selector(...)
where Objective-C would use @selector(...)
:
let thread = NSThread(target:self, selector:#selector(doSomething), object:nil)
