=head1 SYNOPSIS |
6 |
|
7 |
use Glib::Event; |
8 |
|
9 |
# example with Gtk2: |
10 |
use Gtk2 -init; |
11 |
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 |
# 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 }; |

# ... do other things |

=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>. |

=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 |
=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 |
functions). It might work, but that's your problem.... |

|
76 |
* No documented API to patch other main contexts. |
77 |
* Uses one_event, which is inefficient. |
