=head1 DESCRIPTION |
10 |
|
11 |
If you want to use EV in a glib/gtk+ program, then you need to look at |
12 |
the Glib::EV module, not this one, as this module requires you to run EV |
13 |
in your main program. |
14 |
|
15 |
If you want to use glib/gtk+ in an EV program, you are at the right place |
16 |
here. |
17 |
|
18 |
This module embed the glib main loop into EV, that is, EV will also handle |
19 |
Glib events. |
20 |
|
21 |
This makes Glib compatible to EV. Calls into the EV main loop are more |
22 |
or less equivalent to calls to Glib::MainLoop (but not vice versa, you |
23 |
I<have> to use the EV loop functions). |

=item * The Glib perl module is not used. |
28 |
|
29 |
This module has no dependency on the existing Glib perl interface, as it |
30 |
uses glib directly. The Glib module can, however, be used without any |
31 |
problems (as long as evereybody uses shared libraries to keep everybody |
32 |
else happy). |
33 |
|
34 |
=item * The default context will be added to EV when the module is loaded. |
35 |
|
36 |
Loading this module will automatically integrate the default context into |
37 |
EV, so normally nothing else is required. |
38 |
|
39 |
=item * There will be no g_main_loop or gtk_main loop available. |
40 |
|
41 |
The EV event loop is not the gtk+ main loop. That means that things like |
42 |
C<gtk_main_quit> will not work at all. |
43 |
|
44 |
=item * You cannot call any glib loop functions while its context is active. |
45 |
|
46 |
This module uses a prepare watcher at lowest priority to dispatch glib |
47 |
events and activate the main context. The context will be deactivates in a |
48 |
check watcher of highest priority. |
49 |
|
50 |
That means that glib events will be dispatched with lowest priority, and |
51 |
that you cannot call any glib main functions (or functions calling it) on |
52 |
the default mainloop in highest-priority watchers and in lowest-priority |
53 |
prepare watchers. |
