Function
GLibidle_add
Declaration [src]
guint
g_idle_add (
GSourceFunc function,
gpointer data
)
Description [src]
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 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.
This function is not directly available to language bindings.
The implementation of this method is provided by g_idle_add_full() in language bindings
