38 // A brief refresher on GLib:
39 // GLib sources have four callbacks: Prepare, Check, Dispatch and Finalize.
40 // On each iteration of the GLib pump, it calls each source's Prepare function.
41 // This function should return TRUE if it wants GLib to call its Dispatch, and
42 // FALSE otherwise. It can also set a timeout in this case for the next time
43 // Prepare should be called again (it may be called sooner).
44 // After the Prepare calls, GLib does a poll to check for events from the
45 // system. File descriptors can be attached to the sources. The poll may block
46 // if none of the Prepare calls returned TRUE. It will block indefinitely, or
47 // by the minimum time returned by a source in Prepare.
48 // After the poll, GLib calls Check for each source that returned FALSE
49 // from Prepare. The return value of Check has the same meaning as for Prepare,
50 // making Check a second chance to tell GLib we are ready for Dispatch.
51 // Finally, GLib calls Dispatch for each source that is ready. If Dispatch
52 // returns FALSE, GLib will destroy the source. Dispatch calls may be recursive
53 // (i.e., you can call Run from them), but Prepare and Check cannot.
54 // Finalize is called when the source is destroyed.
55 // NOTE: It is common for subsytems to want to process pending events while
56 // doing intensive work, for example the flash plugin. They usually use the
57 // following pattern (recommended by the GTK docs):
58 // while (gtk_events_pending()) {
59 // gtk_main_iteration();
60 // }
61 //
62 // gtk_events_pending just calls g_main_context_pending, which does the
63 // following:
64 // - Call prepare on all the sources.
65 // - Do the poll with a timeout of 0 (not blocking).
66 // - Call check on all the sources.
67 // - *Does not* call dispatch on the sources.
68 // - Return true if any of prepare() or check() returned true.
69 //
70 // gtk_main_iteration just calls g_main_context_iteration, which does the whole
71 // thing, respecting the timeout for the poll (and block, although it is
72 // expected not to if gtk_events_pending returned true), and call dispatch.
73 //
74 // Thus it is important to only return true from prepare or check if we
75 // actually have events or work to do. We also need to make sure we keep
76 // internal state consistent so that if prepare/check return true when called
77 // from gtk_events_pending, they will still return true when called right
78 // after, from gtk_main_iteration.
79 //
80 // For the GLib pump we try to follow the Windows UI pump model:
81 // - Whenever we receive a wakeup event or the timer for delayed work expires,
82 // we run DoWork and/or DoDelayedWork. That part will also run in the other
83 // event pumps.
84 // - We also run DoWork, DoDelayedWork, and possibly DoIdleWork in the main
85 // loop, around event handling.
