## Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<MainLoop> Glib::MainLoop::create | ( | bool | is_running = `false` | ) | `[static]`

Examples:
  thread/dispatcher.cc.

static Glib::RefPtr<MainLoop> Glib::MainLoop::create | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<MainContext>& | context,
|  | bool | is_running = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`

void Glib::MainLoop::run | ( |  | ) |

Runs a main loop until quit() is called on the loop.

If this is called for the thread of the loop's MainContext, it will process events from the loop, otherwise it will simply wait.

void Glib::MainLoop::quit | ( |  | ) |

Stops a MainLoop from running.

Any calls to run() for the loop will return.

bool Glib::MainLoop::is_running | ( |  | ) |

Checks to see if the main loop is currently being run via run().

Returns:
  true if the mainloop is currently being run.

Glib::RefPtr<MainContext> Glib::MainLoop::get_context | ( |  | ) |

Returns the MainContext of loop.

Returns:
  The MainContext of loop.

static int Glib::MainLoop::depth | ( |  | ) | `[static]`

void Glib::MainLoop::reference | ( |  | ) | const

Increases the reference count on a MainLoop object by one.

void Glib::MainLoop::unreference | ( |  | ) | const

Decreases the reference count on a MainLoop object by one.

If the result is zero, free the loop and free all associated memory.

GMainLoop* Glib::MainLoop::gobj | ( |  | ) |

const GMainLoop* Glib::MainLoop::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

GMainLoop* Glib::MainLoop::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) | const
