SYNOPSIS |
5 |
|
|
use Glib::Event; |
6 |
|
|
|
7 |
|
|
# example with Gtk2: |
8 |
|
|
use Gtk2 -init; |
9 |
|
|
use Glib::Event; |
10 |
|
|
use Event; # any order |
11 |
|
|
Event->timer (after => 1, interval => 1, cb => sub { print "I am here!\n" }); |
12 |
|
|
main Gtk2; |
13 |
|
|
# etc., it just works |
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
# You can even move the glib mainloop into a coroutine: |
16 |
|
|
use Gtk2 -init; |
17 |
|
|
use Coro; |
18 |
|
|
use Coro::Event; |

|
|
use Glib::Event; |

|
|
async { main Gtk2 }; |

# ... do other things |

DESCRIPTION |
24 |
|
|
This module coerces the Glib event loop to use the Event module as |
25 |
|
|
underlying event loop, i.e. Event will be used by Glib for all events. |
26 |
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
This makes Glib compatible to Event. Calls into the Glib main loop are |
28 |
|
|
more or less equivalent to calls to "Event::loop". |
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
* The Glib perl module is not used. |
31 |
|
|
This module has no dependency on the existing Glib perl interface, |
32 |
|
|
as it uses glib directly. The Glib module can, however, be used |
33 |
|
|
without any problems. |
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
|
|
* The default context will be changed when the module is loaded. |
36 |
|
|
Loading this module will automatically "patch" the default context |
37 |
|
|
of libglib, so normally nothing more is required. |
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
* Glib does not allow recursive invocations. |
40 |
|
|
This means that none of your event watchers might call into Glib |
41 |
|
|
functions or functions that might call glib functions (basically all |
42 |
|
|
Gtk2 functions). It might work, but that's your problem.... |
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
|
|
BUGS |
45 |
|
|
* No documented API to patch other main contexts. |
46 |
|
|
* Uses one_event, which is inefficient. |
