Hi,
Thx for the reply.
First I think you did not understood my questions.
In other platform, it's possible to run the GUI main loop in any thread.
On macosx, there is a difference between the main run loop and the other
NSRunLoop.
I am trying to isolate this difference in order to avoid to run the main
loop in the main thread.
Because I have no access to the main thread.
I read this :
"What especially distinguishes the main event loop is an input source called
the event source, which is constructed when the global
NSApplication<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSApplication_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/NSApplication>object
(
NSApp<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSApplication_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/c/data/NSApp>)
is initialized. The event source consists of a port for receiving events
from the window server and a FIFO queue—the event queue—for holding those
events until the application can process them"
from apple doc, so I want to use addport on a NSRunLoop to attach the input
source described beside.
I am still suprising of a such limiation of Cocoa on MacOSX while it works
perfectly with GNUstep.
Well, my first mail was very big and maybe not clear so I understand why you
reply those things.
I am free for any suggestion. (I say again: no access to the main thread)
Sincerey
Julien
