#rust #rustaceans if y'all got some experience with multi threading with the language lemme know cuz a brother is stumped and needs to do client work lol
okay I expanded on it a bit more here https://github.com/blackaf/activitydesk/issues/2
Federico Mena Quintero@jalcine Does Qt let one plug pollable stuff into its main loop? You may be able to steal some techniques from here:
Motivation: https://coaxion.net/blog/2019/02/mpsc-channel-api-for-painless-usage-of-threads-with-gtk-in-rust/
Implementation: https://github.com/gtk-rs/glib/blob/master/src/main_context_channel.rs
TL;DR - have a channel be a bounded deque, with hooks into the main loop so the toolkit can ask it, "do you have events for me?". That implementation exposes a GSource for a GMainLoop; not sure what Qt uses.
@federicomena I _think_ - this is entering territory I'm not terribly familiar with. I'll have to read a bit up on it and report (on here)
@jalcine good luck!
Hmmm, you said it failed when sending. Do you know the exact error?
Chris (moving to jade.moe)@jalcine I’m interested so I can make use of this info for Social, too in case I run into issues.
@jalcine btw, is GitHub or invent.kde.org the main repo src?
@brainblasted I wanna use invent but it's pretty locked down to only KDE contributors on there. I'll sync info from both by hand for now
@jalcine hmm, that sucks. I hope they eventually open that up better.
@brainblasted you'll probably have more headway on this GTK and friends have better integration with Rust; I'm working semi aganist Qt.
