I'm developing a multi-threaded GLib application. Each thread, including the main thread, has its own GMainLoop for polling input sources. This works well, but I'm having trouble finding an elegant way to shutdown the child threads from the main thread, because the "main loops" I want to quit live in the child threads. Is there any way I can quit the main loop of a child thread from a parent thread? Can a parent thread somehow access the "main loop context" of a child thread and tell it to quit somehow? I know I can pass in data (such as the address of a gboolean "shutdown" variable) to the g_thread_create call(), but how does the child thread check this flag when running in a GMainLoop? It seems a bit silly and wasteful to create an idle GSource just to check a quit flag -- but is that the only way to do it? Thanks. -Tony _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
