Re: select(), epoll(), etc... in GUI?

Good info, thanks people. I have found that Xt provides XtAddInput(), GTK+
provides IO Channels, ...and Qt provides QSocketNotify thingy(?)

Still trying to understand the signals and how you can safely perform operations
in them. Ahha, a least for a single threaded process, the signal handler
function will be 'atomic' right? It will not be itself interrupted by your main
process code. So you could define some global variables that the signal handler
can write to, and that should be read only by the rest of the process. I don't
think I could safely modify a GUI event queue from a signal handler though.

I think GTK IO Channels will solve my specific problem since im using wxGTK.
I'll try that.

By the way, if you are executing code asynchronously (i.e. handling GUI events) using any other mechanism that standard C signals then the C language does not tell you how to avoid synchronisation problems, e.g. your main code being half way through reading a variable when the asynchronous code writes to it thus causing you to read half of one value and half of another, even volatile sig_atomic_t is not guaranteed for that, only for C signals. ...
