[Rubycocoa-talk] thread switcher: Modal event loop support

[Shirai,Kaoru <sh...@ko...>]

Hi.

I wrote a patch for ruby_thread_switcher_start that provides Ruby thread
scheduling even in modal session(NSModalPanelRunLoopMode) or event
tracking(NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode).

There are several cases where we do somthing within modal session
started from NSApplication.runModalForWindow, so I wrote that. Please
accept if it causes no problem.

Simple script that works by this patch:
  require "osx/cocoa"
  
  nsapp = OSX::NSApplication.sharedApplication
  window = OSX::NSWindow.alloc
  window.initWithContentRect(OSX::NSRect.new(50, 50, 160, 160),
                             :styleMask, OSX::NSTitledWindowMask,
                             :backing, OSX::NSBackingStoreBuffered,
                             :defer, false)
  window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil)
  window.orderFrontRegardless
  
  thread = Thread.start {
    p "After 5 seconds, makes modal session to abort."
    sleep 5
    p "Making modal to abort."
    nsapp.abortModal
  }
  
  p "Starting modal."
  nsapp.runModalForWindow(window)
  p "Exiting modal."
  exit
