[dbus-cplusplus-devel] leave() timeout

[Pierre-Luc B. <pie...@sa...>]

Calling leave() makes our application to wait for 10 sec. This can be a
problem as a user might want to restart the application during that
10sec time frame. From eventloop.cpp, I see that:

int wait_min = 10000;
158 
159     DefaultTimeouts::iterator ti;
160 
161     _mutex_t.lock();
162 
163     for (ti = _timeouts.begin(); ti != _timeouts.end(); ++ti) {
164         if ( (*ti)->enabled() && (*ti)->interval() < wait_min)
165             wait_min = (*ti)->interval();
166     }
167 
168     _mutex_t.unlock();
169 
170     poll (fds, nfd, wait_min);

>From what I get of this portion of code, it loops to find the
DefaultTimeout with the smallest time interval, then poll with that
value.

Is this meant to be used internally for dbus-c++ only or could we 
add_timeout(Timeout::Internal *) without fear of breaking the eventloop
mechanism ?

Since:
   
 while (_running) {
        do_iteration();
 }

in enter() (eventloop-integration.cpp) and:

void BusDispatcher::leave()
{
    _running = false;
}

wouldn't it be better to think of another way to leave the event loop in
a more instantaneous manner ?
