Re: [sc-dev] calling a Function from a primitive

[ccos <ccos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi ross,

what i am doing, and what is generally done in the 
distro is to just call sclang methods to evaluate your function.
the clocks schedule function invocations, but that's more
complicated.

i'm calling runInterpreter on the C side from my own pthread,
to call a method of an object passed in as the thread (void*)data, 
which evaluates a user defined opengl rendering function.

if you call thisThread.clock on the lang side from inside the render function
your clock is still the SystemClock. i don't think there are any problems
with that, none have come up anyway, do i need to implement my own clock?

best,
_c

p.s. i just came in for lunch from the vines, going back out now. 
got your other message, will write back tonight.

my scheduling thread so far, i need to rework my timing code.
james is this kind of thing alright to do?

void * glSchedThreadFunc( void * data ) {


VMGlobals * g = gMainVMGlobals;
PyrObject * w = (PyrObject*)data;
double startTime, endTime, timeTaken, framesTaken, frameFrac;
struct timespec ts;
ts.tv_sec = 0;
SC_GLRenderFrameInfo fi;


SC_GLWindow * cppWin = (SC_GLWindow*)w->slots->uptr;
if(cppWin) {
cppWin->makeCurrentContext();
cppWin->mStartTime = elapsedTime();
} else goto leave;



true) {


pthread_mutex_lock(&gLangMutex);


cppWin = (SC_GLWindow*)w->slots->uptr;
if(cppWin) {

while( (fi = cppWin->mRenderFrameInfo).isStopped ) {
pthread_cond_wait( &cppWin->mSchedCond, &gLangMutex );
cppWin = (SC_GLWindow*)w->slots->uptr;
if( !cppWin ) goto unlockAndLeave;
cppWin->resetTime();
}


startTime = elapsedTime();
++g->sp; SetObject( g->sp, w );
runInterpreter(g, s_prRender, 1);


pthread_mutex_unlock(&gLangMutex);


endTime = elapsedTime();          
timeTaken = endTime - startTime;
framesTaken = timeTaken * fi.fps;
frameFrac = 1.0 - (framesTaken - (int)framesTaken);


ts.tv_nsec = (long int)(frameFrac * fi.nanoFrameDur);


cppWin->setElapsedTimeAndFrameTimes( startTime );
cppWin->incrementFrameCount();  


nanosleep(&ts, 0);
} else goto unlockAndLeave;


}
unlockAndLeave:
pthread_mutex_unlock(&gLangMutex);
leave:
//pthread_exit((void*)0);
return (0;
}
