Hi,
I'd like to use simplest select() to write a multi-thread dbus program.
It has multi event source (including dbus), all event will be processed
under their own thread, and all thread might send dbus message out. I
have explored a little and it seems that DBusWatch is something that I
want. But I have some questions about dbus_connection_set_watch_functions.
From the dbus code, add_function and other callbacks will be called in
dbus_connection_set_watch_functions. But what about other cases? Should
I care about add_function and other callback being called again while
the program is running? Since there is a main loop thread poll for dbus
fd, if it is blocked, add or remove watcher will not be possible. Will
other program/daemon try to wake up it if there is pending watcher
change? And in spite of dbus_connection_set_watch_functions, will other
function trigger the watcher changes that I need to call during the main
loop?
Regards,
Xuetian
