I'm not sure what you mean by "ignore the current running context and interject with the c call"? All emscripten_set_main_loop does is something equivalent to setInterval (but might use requestAnimationFrame or setTimeout called multiple times). Those end up being event callbacks. You can have other event callbacks and they all interleave on the browser's main thread etc.
If the main() function runs for a while before exiting, then the main thread is busy and the first callback for the main loop will be delayed. The same is true for any iteration of the main loop, if it runs longer then subsequent callbacks can only happen later, so they will be late. - Alon On Mon, Mar 10, 2014 at 3:08 PM, Trevor Linton <[email protected]>wrote: > Worked perfectly, thanks!
