22 /* When Emacs is using signal-driven input, the processing of those | |
23 input signals can get pretty hairy. For example, when Emacs is | |
24 running under X windows, handling an input signal can entail | |
25 retrieving events from the X event queue, or making other X calls. | |
26 | |
27 If an input signal occurs while Emacs is in the midst of some | |
28 non-reentrant code, and the signal processing invokes that same | |
29 code, we lose. For example, malloc and the Xlib functions aren't | |
30 usually re-entrant, and both are used by the X input signal handler | |
31 - if we try to process an input signal in the midst of executing | |
32 any of these functions, we'll lose. | |
33 | |
34 To avoid this, we make the following requirements: | |
35 | |
36 * Everyone must evaluate BLOCK_INPUT before entering these functions, | |
37 and then call UNBLOCK_INPUT after performing them. Calls | |
38 BLOCK_INPUT and UNBLOCK_INPUT may be nested. | |
39 | |
40 * Any complicated interrupt handling code should test | |
41 interrupt_input_blocked, and put off its work until later. | |
42 | |
43 * If the interrupt handling code wishes, it may set | |
44 interrupt_input_pending to a non-zero value. If that flag is set | |
45 when input becomes unblocked, UNBLOCK_INPUT will send a new SIGIO. */ | |
