Function
GLibidle_add
since: 2.0
Description
Adds a function to be called whenever there are no higher priority
events pending to the default main loop. The function is given the
default idle priority, G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE
. If the function
returns FALSE
it is automatically removed from the list of event
sources and will not be called again.
See [memory management of sources][mainloop-memory-management] for details
on how to handle the return value and memory management of data
.
This internally creates a main loop source using g_idle_source_new()
and attaches it to the global GMainContext
using g_source_attach(), so
the callback will be invoked in whichever thread is running that main
context. You can do these steps manually if you need greater control or to
use a custom main context.
Available since: 2.0
