Hi!
My question isn't really important, I'm only curious ;P
Why did you add functions below to GDK?
- gdk_threads_add_idle
- gdk_threads_add_idle_full
- gdk_threads_add_timeout
- gdk_threads_add_timeout_full
If we write multi thread aplication in GTK+ we surround gtk_main () function with gdk_threads_enter () and gdk_threads_leave (), so any call of g_idle_add... or g_timeout... functions will be automatically thread safe, am I right?
Can someone explain it for me?
