Hi directfb-dev.
I've been toying with DirectFB for about a week now on an embedded platform that uses the AMD (formerly NSC) Geode GX1. I'm pretty impressed with DirectFB. I would like to use pthreads with DirectFB. What does it take to do this? The DirectFB core must be threadsafe because it runs multiple threads. But what about the interfaces, particularly IDirectFBSurface structures? If I want to do this, should I only limit myself to using the DirectFB core? As a quick test, I tried to add pthreads into the displaying text tutorial. This resulted in a segmentation fault at Flip(). I made sure to lock the surface with pthread_mutex_lock and _unlock, but that made no difference. (Once I get it working, I'd be happy to donate my example code to the tutorials.) What's the best way to write a multithreaded DirectFB application? It's possible that I just screwed up the pthread-ifying... Thanks _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
