No idea. As Ian wrote already, I'd also think that both should work the same way - from FLTK's point of view. Maybe the underlying system behaves differently. If this is the case, then you may get different results, whatever method you use. > do you have any other ideas on how i could get a > nonblocking fd_add cb on the mac to "signal" my main > thread? When I had a similar (but different, because of a client-server architecture) problem, I decided to use a TCP socket. This seemed to be the only way to make it platform-independent (without #if...), because sockets are supported in add_fd() for all platforms (incl. Windows). > since, on windows, pipes are not supported you mean: for usage with add_fd()?

I'm far from a recommendation, but: yes, this may be a way to do it with Windows. I'm just analyzing a problem, where I might use such a mechanism, but I don't have the code yet.
