Hello, I've built a Debian Package for Hardy Heron of sigx, it's available here: http://futurepast.free.fr/debian/
Cheers Milosz 2008/4/13 klaus triendl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I would like to announce my work on "sigx++", a c++ interthread > communication library on top of libsigc++ and glibmm. > > It features: > * dispatcher based interthread communication > * typesafe functor adaptors to execute functions in the context of > another thread (send messages inbetween threads) > * threadsafe wrappers for signals and connections > * deadlock detection for synchronous messages > * ready-to-use with glibmm/gtkmm based programs > > > More specifically: > * every variant of interthread communication is done via a dispatcher > under the hood; > This means that communication except for the dispatcher and synchronous > messages is lock-free; > instead of making functors, signals and connections threadsafe by > themselves they rather have wrappers that offer the same interface and > send a message to the concrete signal or connection in the context of > another thread (i.e. to the thread that owns the signals). > * the dispatcher mechanism itself is generic such that multiple > dispatcher implementations can be plugged in > * e.g. sigx++ out of the box extends the Glib::Dispatcher in a way > that not only nullary callbacks can be executed but callbacks with an > arbitrary number of arguments > * for sending messages between threads, there exists a "tunnel" > functor adaptor adapting functions to be executed in the context of > another thread > * sigx++ introduces a "dispatchable" concept, i.e. a class that just > can be part of interthread communication > * sigx++ introduces a "threadable" concept, i.e. a class executed as > a thread > * glibmm based implementations of dispatchable/threadable that create > and set up a glibmm thread context allow sigx++ to be used directly > within gtkmm programs > > > > sigx++ started from ideas of Tim Mayberry's project "glibmmx" and some > discussions with him helped me to bring sigx++ to its current level. > I personally consider sigx++ as completed regarding its functionality > except the support for system signals; still some work needs to be done > though. > > If you are interested in the library you can download it at > http://triendl.info/sigx > The example and test programs should give an impression how sigx++ can > be used. > > > Questions and comments are welcome and I hope for constructive > discussions! > > Klaus Triendl > > _______________________________________________ > gtkmm-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list >
