From 70f9db3cbdc0a3c6b622e64edbd504592f921892 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Oberholtzer Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2017 09:08:42 -0400 Subject: Fix delay at startup when running against glib 2.49.3+ In glib v2.49.3, an optimization was made to eliminate certain unnecessary wakeups. (The specific change was made in e4ee3079c5afc3c1c3d2415f20c3e8605728f074). Before this change, the first call to g_main_iteration would always complete immediately. In Irssi, this effectively reversed the order of the main loop, causing the reload_config check and the dirty_check to run *before* the first blocking call to g_main_iteration. With the new logic, the first g_main_iteration call now blocks, preventing the screen from being refreshed until the user starts typing or a timer goes off. (It also delays processing of SIGHUP, but I expect that is not a common situation.) This commit reorders the main loop to wait at the end of the loop, rather than the beginning, addressing the problem.
