[Haskell-cafe] gtk2hs problem

[Gregory Propf]

OK, it actually DOES appear related to the -threaded flag.  I was sure I had removed that and still seen the problem but now it seems that taking that out is indeed the fix.  Using the -O2 flag is OK.  I guess it's some syncronization problem when using the threaded RTS.  Which is a shame because it does seem faster that way on my dual core machine.  I guess I need to learn about how threading works in ghc.

Are you using the threaded rts? Are you linking the program with
-threaded?

Are you doing the drawing directly in the timeout function or just
invalidating the window/widget and letting it get redrawn?

See for example the cairo clock demo which animates the hands of the
clock every second:

timeoutAdd (widgetQueueDraw window >> return True) 1000

In general it is much better to only ever draw to a window or widget
during that widget's expose event.
