Re: [Freeglut-developer] Some questions

[Peter M. <pj...@cs...>]

Hi again,

First, I forgot to mention in the previous post that I am using the 2.2.0
codebase.  Second, I just did a little more studying of the code and found
that "fgSleepForEvents( )", which is supposed to relinguish the CPU when
nothing is happening, looks like this:

#elif TARGET_HOST_WIN32
#endif

In other words, it just returns immediately.  This would appear to be the
reason that the CPU is pegged at 100%.  Again, as a newcomer to Freeglut, is
this a design decision?  Have alternatives been discussed?  The Windows API
is chock full of synchronization mechanisms, timers, etc.  Surely there must
be a way to work within the Freeglut architecture and implement a method for
being a polite program.

    Thanks,
    PeterM
