Re: g_main_loop

["Ed James" <edward james gmail com>]

Just a guess, but I'd try putting a function in Thread 1 that emits the signal, but call
that function from Thread 2.  This way, Thread 2 controls when the signal is emitted,
but the signal is still handled by Thread 1.  Never actually tried this myself, though,
so I don't know for sure if one thread can call a function in another thread.

Hi All,

 

I am a beginner to gtk APIs.

My query is :

- In Thread T1 I am calling g_main_loop()

- In Thread T2 I am emitting a signal through g_signal_emit_by_name(G_OBJECT, signal-name);

 

I saw that signal handler is running in Thread2 context. I want that it should run in Thread 1 context. How I can achieve this?
