I am currently working on a few ideas that will enable me to communicate with dual port memory using an SBS616 VME to PCI adapter card. The Gtk GUI part is done and I am now working on the interprocess communication necessary to use the dual port memory. My first attempt will be to run a thread that is started before gtk_main() and after all the GUI widgets have been constructed. All the label widgets that will display data via label_set_text() will have arrays of pointers to the label widgets so that the dualport thread can update these "data" labels. I don't think adding a timer to do the updating is a good idea since I will have no control or resource access as I would using mutex and condition variables. If anyone has any feedback on this subject of IPC with gtk and another thread similar to what I am doing please feel free to put forth any ideas -- any feedback is better than none.
