IO::Lam...p::Glib(3)

📦 version 1.34, in alpine 3.24

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for IO::Lambda::Loop::Glib(3), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the name tea is literally:

IO::Lambda::Loop::Glib — Glib event loop for IO::Lambda

that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💅✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this is the implementation of the event loop for IO::Lambda that's based on the Glib event loop. the module is not intended for direct use — like, it's the behind-the-scenes bestie, not the main character you call directly. periodt. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use it like this, bestie:

  use AnyEvent;
  use IO::Lambda::Loop::Glib; # explicitly select the event loop module
  use IO::Lambda;

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

okay so the limitations are giving “read me carefully”, and honestly same:

  • Synchronous I/O (wait() and friends) can so far only work with either Gtk2 og Gtk3 main loop initialized. yes, og is literally right there — iykyk. 🙈
  • Also, after the main loop gets stopped, this module won't work as well. like, it's not gonna be okay after that. 💀
  • Under Gtk2 it is not possible to run bare synchronous IO::Lambda I/O, without calling main_loop, while under Gtk3 it works okay. so Gtk3 is okay, Gtk2 is not for that specific thing. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Big thanks to Martijn van Beers and Apocalypse for POE::Loop::Glib — iconic behavior, honestly. 🫶👑
