Methods

GMainLoop (context = null, is_running = null)

Creates a new [struct@GLib.MainLoop] structure.
- @p context is a main context (if NULL, the global-default main context will be used)..
- @p is_running is set to true to indicate that the loop is running. This is not very important since calling [method@GLib.MainLoop.run] will set this to true anyway..
toNativeHandle (Source)

Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
- @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
- @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.
getLib ()

Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
- @r The opened native library.
handle ()

Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
- @r The wrapped NativeHandle.
isNull ()

Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
- @r A bool.
describe ()

Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
- @r A string.
get_context ()

Returns the [struct@GLib.MainContext] of @loop.
- @r the [struct@GLib.MainContext] of @loop.
is_running ()

Checks to see if the main loop is currently being run via [method@GLib.MainLoop.run].
- @r true if the main loop is currently being run, false otherwise.
quit ()

Stops a [struct@GLib.MainLoop] from running. Any calls to [method@GLib.MainLoop.run] for the loop will return. Note that sources that have already been dispatched when [method@GLib.MainLoop.quit] is called will still be executed.
- @r None.
ref ()

Increases the reference count on a [struct@GLib.MainLoop] object by one.
- @r @loop.
run ()

Runs a main loop until [method@GLib.MainLoop.quit] is called on the loop. If this is called from the thread of the loop’s [struct@GLib.MainContext], it will process events from the loop, otherwise it will simply wait.
- @r None.
unref ()

Decreases the reference count on a [struct@GLib.MainLoop] object by one. If the result is zero, the loop and all associated memory are freed.
- @r None.
