Class GtkMainThread

Implemented Interfaces:
Runnable
public class GtkMainThread
extends Thread
The Java thread representing the native GTK main loop, that is, GtkMainThread.mainThread, terminates when GtkToolkit.gtkMain() returns. That happens in response to the last window peer being disposed (see GtkWindowPeer.dispose). When GtkMainThread.destroyWindow is called for the last window, it in turn calls GtkMainThread.endMainThread, which calls gtk_quit. gtk_quit signals gtk_main to return, which causes GtkMainThread.run to return. There should only be one native GTK main loop running at any given time. In order to safely start and stop the GTK main loop, we use a running flag and corresponding runningLock. startMainThread will not return until the native GTK main loop has started, as confirmed by the native set_running_flag callback setting the running flag to true. Without this protection, gtk_quit could be called before the main loop has actually started, which causes GTK assertion failures. Likewise endMainThread will not return until the native GTK main loop has ended. post_running_flag_callback is called during gtk_main initialization and no window can be created before startMainThread returns. This ensures that calling post_running_flag_callback is the first action taken by the native GTK main loop. GtkMainThread.mainThread is started when the window count goes from zero to one. GtkMainThread keeps the AWT event queue informed of its status by posting NativeEventLoopRunningEvents. The AWT event queue uses this status to determine whether or not the AWT exit conditions have been met (see EventQueue.isShutdown).
