3 root 1.2 Glib::Event - Coerce Glib into using the Event module as event loop.
4 root 1.1
5     =head1 SYNOPSIS
6    
7     use Glib::Event;
8    
9 root 1.2 # example with Gtk2:
10 root 1.4 use Gtk2 -init;
11 root 1.2 use Glib::Event;
12     use Event; # any order
13     Event->timer (after => 1, interval => 1, cb => sub { print "I am here!\n" });
14     main Gtk2;
15     # etc., it just works
16    
17 root 1.4 # You can even move the glib mainloop into a coroutine:
18     use Gtk2 -init;
19     use Coro;
20     use Coro::Event;
21     use Glib::Event;
22     async { main Gtk2 };
23     # ... do other things

25 root 1.1 =head1 DESCRIPTION
26    
27     This module coerces the Glib event loop to use the Event module as
28     underlying event loop, i.e. Event will be used by Glib for all events.
29    
30     This makes Glib compatible to Event. Calls into the Glib main loop
31     are more or less equivalent to calls to C<Event::loop>.

35     =item * The Glib perl module is not used.
36    
37     This module has no dependency on the existing Glib perl interface, as it
38     uses glib directly. The Glib module can, however, be used without any
39     problems.
40    
41     =item * The default context will be changed when the module is loaded.
42    
43     Loading this module will automatically "patch" the default context of
44     libglib, so normally nothing more is required.
45    
46 root 1.3 =item * Glib does not allow recursive invocations.
47    
48     This means that none of your event watchers might call into Glib
49     functions or functions that might call glib functions (basically all Gtk2
50 root 1.4 functions). It might work, but that's your problem....

74 root 1.2 =head1 BUGS
75    
76     * No documented API to patch other main contexts.
77     * Uses one_event, which is inefficient.
