Hi,
I am writing a server application (using glib) in which I want to be
able to (frequently) turn polling on and off for given sockets.
I am currently using g_io_add_watch to add a watch on a socket and
g_source_remove to remove the watch. This seems like an expensive way of
doing what I want. What is the recommended way of doing this?
This is what I'm doing too. Although it doesn't seem to add much
overhead in my case, I'd have preferred to have a "switch off" and
"switch on" a source without throwing away all data structures. May
be this could be a feature request? What do folks think?
This is exactly what I was thinking :) - being able to toggle seems like
a very good idea to me.
Peter
