An event loop implementation used for sys.thread.Thread
Constructor
Methods
cancel(eventHandler:EventHandler):Void
Prevent execution of a previously scheduled event in current loop.
loop():Void
Execute all pending events.
Wait and execute as many events as the number of times promise() was called.
Runs until all repeating events are cancelled and no more events are expected.
Depending on a target platform this method may be non-reentrant. It must not be called from event callbacks.
progress():NextEventTime
Executes all pending events.
The returned time stamps can be used with Sys.time() for calculations.
Depending on a target platform this method may be non-reentrant. It must not be called from event callbacks.
promise():Void
Notify this loop about an upcoming event.
This makes the thread stay alive and wait for as many events as the number of
times .promise() was called. These events should be added via .runPromised().
repeat(event:() ‑> Void, intervalMs:Int):EventHandler
Schedule event for execution every intervalMs milliseconds in current loop.
wait(?timeout:Float):Bool
Blocks until a new event is added or timeout (in seconds) to expires.
Depending on a target platform this method may also automatically execute arriving events while waiting. However if any event is executed it will stop waiting.
Returns true if more events are expected.
Returns false if no more events expected.
Depending on a target platform this method may be non-reentrant. It must not be called from event callbacks.
