Hello!
I'm working on a plugin for a smaller application using gtkmm. The plugin
I'm working on checks certain conditions (the date had changed and a new day
started) after every minute and starts some actions if the conditions are
true. In the initialization part of the plugin I have the following piece of
code that uses Glib::SignalTimeout and sigc++:
*testCounter = 0;
sigc::slot<bool> tslot = sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&NoteOfDayFactory::checkNewDay);
timeoutObj = Glib::signal_timeout().connect(tslot,CHECK_INTERVAL);*
where testCounter is an attribute defined in the class that contains the
initialization method and CHECK_INTERVAL is a constant equal to 1 minute.
All the other variables present are defined in the class that contains the
initialization code and the callback method.
The checkNewDay method is where the condition is tested and action taken if
the day had changed:
* bool NoteOfDayFactory::checkNewDay() {
std::cout << "Checking for new day every minute or so" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Before incrementing" << std::endl;
for(int i = 0; i < 100000; i++);
counter++;
std::cout << counter << " minutes elapsed" << std::endl;
return true;
}
*I put the small test code, presented above, before I used the real action,
to test if everything goes well and the checkNewDay isn't called more than
once every minute.*
*What I found puzzle me. After every minute elapses I get a number of let
say 10 messages (at least) printed on the stdout* *but the variable
increases only once every minute.
**** snip ****
Checking for new day every minute or so
Before incrementing
1 minutes elapsed
Checking for new day every minute or so
Before incrementing
1minutes elapsed
**** snip ****
Checking for new day every minute or so
Before incrementing
2 minutes elapsed
Checking for new day every minute or so
Before incrementing
2 minutes elapsed
**** snip ****
It behaves like the text was sent to 10 (or so) different buffers and
printed out at once after every minute. Could somebody enlighten me and
satisfy my curiosity why is this happening, because I'm pretty sure that the
callback is called only once every minute. Thank you!
Cheers!
