Hi,
I was thinking of using a seperate mainloop for another thread
when I realized (read in the reference manual) that the glib
main loop is global. I'd mainly like to watch for input on
some fds in a thread which is not the one where the GUI stuff is
beeing handled, with as little effort as possible.
I had the following alternative ideas:
- handling read-ready on the X fd is done in another thread, not
the thread calling select. So all Gtk works would just
be done there on default, including calls to XSync. Is there a
way to do this with a (few) call(s) ?
- use one seperate thread for running the select loop (custom,
not glib) for the other fds. While a little more work than
the other idea, could Gtk+ live with this and would I just need
to call g_main_wakeup or set an idle handler to "notify" the
main thread carrying select ?
Best regards,
kai
