we were discussing this and i don't remember an adequate solution. so we're needing to allow multiple event loops (main loop).
ok = first loop created == main loop. fine. store that in a global. but after this... what loop does an object belong to? ok - timers: create timer. set parent to the loop it belongs to. that works. simple. what about more complex things? a whole widget tree with some edje or button object deep down. their parent != loop. sure you can walk the tree to a toplevel window and window has to belong to a loop. i remember tls being discussed. we store a loop created in the tls for the thread. this requires that all objects be created in the thread they belong to. they all just get their loop from the tls storage. was this the solution? then that is the limitation - must create in the thread you belong to. that's not a great limitation... unless we can "fix it" eg by creating in one place and transferring to another loop. how? what api? it likely has to be universal or almost (an iface every object that needs a loop would inherit?) basically -> i don't remember a nice solution to this. did we have one? n.b. promises and anything async is in trouble unless we solve this. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
