libft reference - Context

libft objects operate within a libft context. The application typically has a one global context (more than one context is supported). The context operates within a single thread.

A libft context consists of:

• an event loop
• signal handlers
• a frame memory pool
• a shutdown counter

struct ft_context- Context class

bool ft_context_init(struct ft_context * )

Construct a new context object. Returns true for success or false for error.

void ft_context_fini(struct ft_context * )

Destructor of a context object.

Event loop

void ft_context_run(struct ft_context * )

Start an event loop (see libev).
The method will return when the event loop exits.

The example of use

#include <ft.h>

struct ft_context context;

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    bool ok;

    // Initialize libft
    ft_initialise();

    // Initialize the context
    ok = ft_context_init(&context);
    if (!ok) return EXIT_FAILURE;

    // Start the event loop
    ft_context_run(&context);

    // Clean up
    ft_context_fini(&context);

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
