Re: [LAD] Looking for an introduction to rt programming with a gui

Cause: Glib event loop initialization and PyGtk. Fix: zynjacku now initializes the Glib event loop, but this comes with some other undesirable side-effects. 2. Ingen would crash at exit if you loaded the Composite plugin, and then unloaded it. Cause: When Qt initialized thread-local storage, it made an assumption that QtCore would only be unloaded at application exit. Fix: Qt's trunk has a fix to clean up TLS when the library is unloaded. I don't think it was backported to older release branches.[1] Anyway, Qt is a large framework for cross-platform application development (and very good at that). So, when you use its core library (QString, QThread, etc.) in new and non-standard ways (LV2 plugins) you're liable to find bugs that violate the assumption: "This is a Qt application." :-) hth, gabriel [1] http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-9436
