c - WinAPI - Synchronizing SwapBuffers -


is possible synchronize swapbuffers in many threads? when try turn on vertical synchronization (wglswapintervalext), stops threads, until doesn't tick (ex. when open 3 windows, every window has approximately 20 frames [60/3] ) every window has separate thread, , of course every thread has own swapbuffer function.

swap control per-window in wgl (when set it, applied window current render context tied to). association between render context , window tied device context (see wglmakecurrent (...)). need vsync 1 of 3 windows if reliably hitting < ~5.6 ms frame time in each.

what should consider here having 1 of contexts set swap interval 1 , remaining 2 use 0. context syncrhonized vblank (swap interval = 1) lead other 2 threads. say, have other 2 threads call glflush (...) , busy wait until first thread stops blocking vsync before calling swapbuffers (...). reason glflush (...) other 2 threads accomplish useful rendering tasks while wait first (synchronized) swap finish.

it sounds funny - recipe tearing - given nature of windows vista/7/8's compositing window manager, vsync not prevent tearing anymore. window manager compositing asynchronously, performs triple buffering. vsync will, however, allow (when done correctly) have 3 of windows update contents each refresh (avoid late frames).

if did not bother starting series of buffer swaps @ beginning of vblank, run situation compositing window manager displays old frame 2 frames because swapping buffers in middle of vblank. granted, can still run situation if draw excessively long frame, solves case short frame unfortunately swapped close vertical retrace deadline finish in time.

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod...

ios - Change Storyboard View using Seague -

i have following code checks connection server, , depending on want change views if no connection found. nsstring *connect = [nsstring stringwithcontentsofurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:@"http://myserver.com"] encoding:nsutf8stringencoding error:nil]; if (connect == null) { [self performseguewithidentifier:@"network_failure" sender:self]; } else { // other code here } my problem not change views. have added storyboard segue between 2 views identifier of network_failure . not have navigation controller or that, problem? thanks help! no not problem. first of all, in objectivec exists nil object oriented null . must use that. so: if(connect == nil) or better: if(!connect) so due fact nil not same of null , probably code does't enter in if scope . you have been able discover breakpoint. anyway: be sure set trigger segue (line) 2 view controller , , name network_failure (that not best name. should instead view1toview2 ) as, m...
