Hi, I have a general question about the concepts of GLib main loops. I've read the GLib reference several times but still I don't get how main loops internally work. To be precisely, the following questions occur: * Do main loops exist per process or per thread? If I start a main loop in one thread (A) and add an IO watch in another thread (B), does this watch get added to the main loop of the thread A or B ? * If there is only one main loop (regardless of per thread or per process), why the function g_main_loop_new()? * What's the purpose of the parameter 'is_running' in g_main_loop_new() ? When should I set it to TRUE and when to FALSE? Sorry for this basic questions .. if I am not the only one dealing with these questions, maybe the GLib reference could get extended with more details on main loops. Cheers .. and thanks for some advise, Christian _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
