Re: glib main loop without gtk

[Thomas Stover <thomas wsinnovations com>]

First thanks to Alexander Semenov, and Emmanuele Bassi for your 
responses. It took some poking around, but I think get it now. Here is a 
concept demo for any future searches that find this thread. I'm not sure 
how to get out of the infinite loop though, since _iteration() returns 
both TRUE and FALSE on normal execution. I can see how the approach glib 
is using for events would allow for all sorts of stuff like mixing main 
loops with other libraries and delegating events to helper threads. Good 
stuff.


#include <glib-2.0/glib.h>

gboolean timeout_callback(gpointer opaq)
{
g_print("got here\n");
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
g_timeout_add(3000, timeout_callback, NULL);

while(1)
{
 g_main_context_iteration(NULL, TRUE);
}

return 0;
}
