use python

or any programming language you're comfortable with

For some reasons, i can only do

DoEvents on the 2nd thread

the

_window here is the Silk.NET window

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 7:52 AM

if i did it on the main thread then the window just doesn't respond

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 7:55 AM

reading through Beyley's code, why is these options used?

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 8:30 AM

this is the code i run ^

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 8:43 AM

i am so confused now

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 10:43 AM

once again I’d like to reiterate that using any window function other than DoRender and Invoke on any thread other than the main thread is entirely undefined behaviour

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 10:44 AM

and should be assumed never to work

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 12:49 PM

Yeah im confused what's wrong

NewThread({
  while:
    DoRender();
})
MainThread{
  while:
    DoUpdate();
    DoEvents();
}

NewThread({
  while:
    DoRender();
})
MainThread{
  while:
    DoUpdate();
    DoEvents();
}

NewThread({
  while:
    DoRender();
})
MainThread{
  while:
    DoUpdate();
    DoEvents();
}

NewThread({
  while:
    DoRender();
})
MainThread{
  while:
    DoUpdate();
    DoEvents();
}

this only works when i put the DoEvents on the NewThread too

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 12:49 PM

which is what you say i shouldn't do

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:26 PM

generally if you're doing multithreading i recommend just keeping the window completely on one thread, and having rendering completely on one thread

ohhh i see

i started the thread before the window even loads

IsContextControlDisabled is important as well, the window system will keep trying to move your context back otherwise

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 1:37 PM

Speaking of this one, i did this and do
context.MakeCurrent()
and
SwapBuffers()
Manually and it did increase the performance about 2x

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 1:38 PM

basically i skipped this part?

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:40 PM

hrmfffff SwapInterval has given me so much grief over these 3 years

HHanprogramer basically i skipped this part?

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:43 PM

i think it's actually the IsCurrent that'd be causing the perf hit

i mean do run it through dotTrace if you can, would be interesting to compare

Redhacker2•10/24/22, 1:53 PM

Why do you guys make the context current automatically? Was there a specific reason?

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:54 PM

like a lot of things in windowing it is designed for ease of use and to prevent confusion

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:54 PM

imagine how a beginner would react if they couldn't issue any GL commands on their fresh window

R

Redhacker2•10/24/22, 1:54 PM

fair enough...

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 1:55 PM

It no longer crashes, but it doesn't do anything now

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 1:56 PM

Here's my window options

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:56 PM

you probably want to move SwapBuffers into your Render callback

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 1:56 PM

this is what i had

P

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:57 PM

you're probably double swapping somewhere

H

Hanprogramer•10/24/22, 1:59 PM

i dont think so?
