Documentation for injecting event loop

[romgrk]

Hi, I'm looking into this project to see if it would be reusable for node-gtk, but the file linked in the readme doesn't exist anymore: https://github.com/nodegui/qode#message-loop-injection-api

Where can I find more documentation & code?

Thanks

One more question, why are you maintaining a fork rather than trying to merge the required functionality in nodejs? Is it too invasive to be accepted?

Hey!

You can find it under the node folder

node/src/qode_shared.h

NodeJs doesnt require these changes to run.
The reason why we need to do this is because of two event loops

1. nodejs event loop
2. qt's gui event loop

In order to merge them into one, we need these patches.

This is exactly what electron follows too. They too have a separate nodejs fork.

I skimmed over the code and I was wondering if you could describe lightly how the two threads are used and how the mixing of the event loops is done? No worries if you don't have time, but I'd be happy to understand how this works more in details.
