pub struct Mainloop {

}
Expand description

This acts as a safe interface to the internal PA Mainloop.

The mainloop object pointers are further enclosed here in a ref counted wrapper, allowing this outer wrapper to have clean methods for creating event objects, which can cleanly pass a copy of the inner ref counted mainloop object to them. Giving this to events serves two purposes, firstly because they need the API pointer, secondly, it ensures that event objects do not outlive the mainloop object.

Fields

_inner: Rc<MainloopInner<MainloopInternal>>

The ref-counted inner data.

Implementations

Allocates a new main loop object.

Prepares for a single iteration of the main loop.

Returns Err on error or exit request.

timeout specifies a maximum timeout for the subsequent poll. None requests blocking behaviour.

Note, should the microseconds timeout value provided be too large to pass to the underlying C API (larger than std::i32::MAX), then the PAErr form of the Code::TooLarge error will be returned (within Result::Err).

Executes the previously prepared poll.

Dispatchs timeout, IO and deferred events from the previously executed poll.

On success returns the number of source dispatched.

Gets the return value as specified with the main loop’s quit() routine.

Runs a single iteration of the main loop.

This is a convenience function for prepare(), poll() and dispatch().

If block is true, block for events if none are queued.

Returns an IterateResult variant:

  • On success, returns IterateResult::Success containing the number of sources dispatched in this iteration.
  • If exit was requested, returns IterateResult::Quit containing quit’s retval.
  • On error, returns IterateResult::Err containing error value.

Runs unlimited iterations of the main loop object until the main loop’s quit() routine is called.

On success, returns Ok containing quit’s return value. On error returns Err containing a tuple of the error value and quit’s return value.

Gets the abstract main loop abstraction layer vtable for this main loop.

No need to free the API as it is owned by the loop and is destroyed when the loop is freed.

Talking to PA directly with C requires fetching this pointer explicitly via this function. This is actually unnecessary through this binding. The pointer is retrieved automatically upon Mainloop creation, stored internally, and automatically obtained from it by functions that need it.

Shuts down the main loop with the specified return value.

Interrupts a running poll (for threaded systems).

Changes the poll() implementation.
