Hi All.
I am currently playing with C#. It have a nice feature that one thread can
call a function in other thread's context. (using the Invoke command, or the
asynchronic BeginInvoke command)
This is useful especially in a GUI program, where one thread is handling the
GUI, and worker threads need to post status.
So how do we do it in Perl?
Sending signal and relaying the command somehow?
Thanks,
Shmuel.
Sorry for the double post...I just realized Thread::Apartment may solve
another part of your issue. It exports proxied method calls between
threads, so assuming thread A is running an instance of class XYZ with
method callme(), and thread B is running an instance of class DEF that
holds a proxy object $threadA to thread A's apartment, then thread B can call
$threadA->callme() directly, ie, no closures needed.
But the overhead issues still apply.
