Hello,
as evas isn't thread save (like Gtk) it's a problem to update the GUI
periodic from a thread. They told me in #edevelop how to solve this
with use of pipes. But I think it's complicated. There's a nice concept
in Gtk(mm) that works with an Dispatcher. You don't need to know
anything about pipes for using it. Does something similar exist also
for ecore or do you think about implementing it?
Example how to use a Dispatcher (in C++):
Glib::Dispatcher dispatchSignal;
GPSConnection::GPSConnection ()
{
dispatchSignal.connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &GPSConnection::update));
}
void GPSConnection::mycallbackThread (...)
{
// work, mutex, ...
dispatchSignal ();
}
void GPSConnection::update ()
{
// work, mutex, ...
gpsConGlobal->signalData.emit (&gpsDataLocal);
}
... and it simply works. So is there something similar in ecore?
regards
Andreas
