hey. I'm using an embedded perl interpreter in my app right now. This is source of some inconviniences, so I'm thinking about moving the perl piece into a seperate process. In order to make this worthwhile I'll need an interface that can work with the gtk main loop (i.e. something that uses file descriptors for communication) and a function set (an API) that has support for a non-blocking interaction. Basically, in addition to basic rpc-like functionality, I want the API to: - handle the EAGAIN return value properly - provide a way for the calling app to initiate multiple reads or writes for each interaction (for each procedure call), and inform the app when the io is complete. preferably there are already both C and perl interfaces to this lib. I haven't found anything that matches too closely so far. Anyone else know of something? How difficult do you think it would be to make an existing rpc lib non-blocking? Thanks - Ben _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
