* The event loop functionality GMain has extensively been revised to
|
||
|
|
support multiple separate main loops in separate threads. All sources
|
||
|
|
(timeouts, idle functions, etc.) are associated with a GMainContext.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compatibility functions exist so that most application code dealing with
|
||
|
|
the main loop will continue to work. However, code that creates
|
||
|
|
new custom types of sources will require modification.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main changes here are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Sources are now exposed as GSource *, rather than simply as numeric
|
||
|
|
IDS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- New types of sources are created by structure "derivation" from GSource,
|
||
|
|
so the source_data parameter to the GSource vfuncs has been
|
||
|
|
replaced with a GSource *.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Sources are first created, then later added to a specific GMainContext
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Dispatching has been modified so both the callback and data are passed
|
||
|
|
in to the ->dispatch() vfunc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To go along with this change, the vtable for GIOChannel has changed and
|
||
|
|
add_watch() has been replaced by create_watch().
