iteration
Description:
Runs a single iteration for the given main loop.
This involves checking to see if any event sources are ready to be processed, then if no events sources are ready and may_block
is true, waiting for a source to become ready, then dispatching the highest priority events sources that are
ready. Otherwise, if may_block
is false sources are not waited to become ready, only those
highest priority events sources will be dispatched (if any), that are ready at this given moment without further waiting.
Note that even when may_block
is true, it is still possible for iteration
to return false, since the wait may be interrupted for other reasons than an event source becoming
ready.
Parameters:
this |
a MainContext (if null, the global-default main context will be used) |
may_block |
whether the call may block. |
Returns:
true if events were dispatched. |
