[vos-d] s5 concurrency (design part 2)

2007-04-04 Thread Peter Amstutz
Okay, in following up with Ken's question, let me talk a little bit about s5 concurrency. Warning, long, fairly detailed writeup follows. In s4, the threading model is essentially wide open. There is a thread pool fed by the "task queue", and all incoming requests, updates and notification ca

2007-04-04 Thread S Mattison
What sort of build environments do you guys use? Any particular IDE you prefer, or just KWrite/Kate? I have (GCC) 4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-3mdk). What should I get via URPMI first? Or is this all I need? I also hear that "Blender's cob export saves uv's but not materials", leading to obj

[vos-d] WxTerangreal TaskQueue question

2007-04-04 Thread Ken Taylor
Just a quickie: Most tasks in the wx version of terangreal get added to a "mainThreadTasks" static queue, which is handled by wxgui's Pump (a wxTimer). However, the goToWorldTask gets added to TaskQueue::defaultTQ. What's the difference between these two mechanisms for task scheduling, and why wou
