I have a problem where I have to call gtk code, including two
gtk_main's, from two different threads and was wondering if there's any
way to do that _without_ calling gdk_thread_enter/gdk_thread_leave.
I'm writing a debugger for an interpreted language, using a gtk gui. The
debugger works as a loadable module for the interpreter, so it runs in
the same process as the interpreter, but in it's own thread. gtk_main is
called in that thread. g_threads_init and gdk_threads_init are called
before gtk_main and all gtk code that can be called from any other
thread within the debugger is protected by
gdk_thread_enter/gdk_thread_leave.
The problem is that the debugged program may also call gtk code.
Obviously, I can't modify the debugged program to check for the debugger
before calling gtk code. On the other hand, the debugger can't know in
advance whether the debugged program will call gtk code or not either.
Hence the problem.
I'm thinking of splitting the debugger code into gtk and non-gtk code
with the gtk code running in a separate process and using pipes for
communication, but thought I'd ask if there was any way to avoid that.
