Folks,
I'm planning to replace the rather unintellegible MacOS.SetScheduleTimes() and
MacOS.EnableAppSwitch() with a single call, probably something like
MacOS.SetEventLoop(checkabort, checkevents, checkinterval, yieldfg,
yieldbg)
with all parameters optional (and returning all current values), and the
parameters meaning
checkabort If true check for command-dot in the interpreter mainloop
checkevents If true check and dispatch events (such as redraw) in the
mainloop
checkinterval The interval in seconds in which the mainloop should do these
checks
yieldfg When checking give the CPU up for so many seconds if running
foreground
yieldbg Ditto, for background.
Two questions:
- is this a reasonable interface?
- can I remove the old two calls or should I leave them for compatability?
