Member Typedef Documentation

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Glib::Source::Source ( const Source )
delete
Glib::Source::Source ( )
protected

Construct an object that uses the virtual functions prepare(), check() and dispatch().

Glib::Source::Source ( GSource *  cast_item,
GSourceFunc  callback_func 
)
protected

Wrap an existing GSource object and install the given callback function.

The constructed object doesn't use the virtual functions prepare(), check() and dispatch(). This constructor is for use by derived types that need to wrap a GSource object. The callback function can be a static member function. But beware - depending on the actual implementation of the GSource's virtual functions the expected type of the callback function can differ from GSourceFunc.

Member Function Documentation

void Glib::Source::add_poll ( PollFD poll_fd)
protected

Adds a file descriptor to the set of file descriptors polled for this source.

The event source's check function will typically test the revents field in the PollFD and return true if events need to be processed.

Parameters
poll_fdA PollFD object holding information about a file descriptor to watch.
unsigned int Glib::Source::attach ( const Glib::RefPtr< MainContext >&  context)

Adds a Source to a context so that it will be executed within that context.

Parameters
contextA MainContext.
Returns
The ID for the source within the MainContext.
unsigned int Glib::Source::attach ( )

Adds a Source to a context so that it will be executed within that context.

The default context will be used.

Returns
The ID for the source within the MainContext.
virtual bool Glib::Source::check ( )
protectedpure virtual
sigc::connection Glib::Source::connect_generic ( const sigc::slot_base slot)
protected
static Glib::RefPtr<Source> Glib::Source::create ( )
static
void Glib::Source::destroy ( )

Removes a source from its MainContext, if any, and marks it as destroyed.

The source cannot be subsequently added to another context.

virtual bool Glib::Source::dispatch ( sigc::slot_base slot)
protectedpure virtual
bool Glib::Source::get_can_recurse ( ) const

Checks whether a source is allowed to be called recursively.

see set_can_recurse().

Returns
Whether recursion is allowed.
Glib::RefPtr<MainContext> Glib::Source::get_context ( )

Gets the MainContext with which the source is associated.

Calling this function on a destroyed source is an error.

Returns
The MainContext with which the source is associated, or a null RefPtr if the context has not yet been added to a source.
unsigned int Glib::Source::get_id ( ) const

Returns the numeric ID for a particular source.

The ID of a source is unique within a particular main loop context. The reverse mapping from ID to source is done by MainContext::find_source_by_id().

Returns
The ID for the source.
int Glib::Source::get_priority ( ) const

Gets the priority of a source.

Returns
The priority of the source.
gint64 Glib::Source::get_time ( ) const
protected

Gets the time to be used when checking this source.

The advantage of calling this function over calling g_get_monotonic_time() directly is that when checking multiple sources, GLib can cache a single value instead of having to repeatedly get the system monotonic time.

The time here is the system monotonic time, if available, or some other reasonable alternative otherwise. See g_get_monotonic_time().

Returns
The monotonic time in microseconds.

void Glib::Source::reference ( ) const
void Glib::Source::remove_poll ( PollFD poll_fd)
protected

Removes a file descriptor from the set of file descriptors polled for this source.

Parameters
poll_fdA PollFD object previously passed to add_poll().
void Glib::Source::set_can_recurse ( bool  can_recurse)

Sets whether a source can be called recursively.

If can_recurse is true, then while the source is being dispatched then this source will be processed normally. Otherwise, all processing of this source is blocked until the dispatch function returns.

Parameters
can_recurseWhether recursion is allowed for this source.
void Glib::Source::set_priority ( int  priority)

Sets the priority of a source.

While the main loop is being run, a source will be dispatched if it is ready to be dispatched and no sources at a higher (numerically smaller) priority are ready to be dispatched.

Parameters
priorityThe new priority.
void Glib::Source::unreference ( ) const
