Class Method Details

.instance ⇒ Atk::Misc

Obtain the singleton instance of AtkMisc for this application.

Returns:

  • (Atk::Misc) —

    The singleton instance of AtkMisc for this application.

Instance Method Details

#threads_enter ⇒ nil

Take the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit,
if one exists.
(This method is implemented by the toolkit ATK implementation layer;
for instance, for GTK+, GAIL implements this via GDK_THREADS_ENTER).

Returns:

  • (nil)

#threads_leave ⇒ nil

Release the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit,
if one exists. This method, and atk_misc_threads_enter,
are needed in some situations by threaded application code which
services ATK requests, since fulfilling ATK requests often
requires calling into the GUI toolkit. If a long-running or
potentially blocking call takes place inside such a block, it should
be bracketed by atk_misc_threads_leave/atk_misc_threads_enter calls.
(This method is implemented by the toolkit ATK implementation layer;
for instance, for GTK+, GAIL implements this via GDK_THREADS_LEAVE).

Returns:

  • (nil)
