No, not in this case. Ideally, I would like to call my callback
immediately, but for various reasons the caller isn't ready for it yet. I
just want to wait as little time as possible, to let the caller get its
ducks in a row. I don't want to wait an indefinite amount of time, as the
likelihood that other events arrive which are then processed out of order
increases.
I found empirically that an interval of 0ms is valid, and by looking at the
source for g_timeout_add I can see that 0 isn't treated specially. I'm
having a hard time figuring out the first possible time that callback might
occur. Does the main loop get control first or not?
Thanks,
