1963.0. "XSync or XDebug" by FREZEN::PROJECTS () Fri Dec 22 1989 10:37



	Anyone use XSync or XDebug in their encounters with decwindows & X?

	I'm looking for ideas where and when I might want to use these.

	Ideas... examples...?

	Much appreciated

Look in DW_EXAMPLES at the VDrag example for a use of XSync.  I used it
to do "poor-man's" motion compression.  By forcing the application
to wait until the server had completed the previous requests, the
event queue was more likely to contain a "rich" set of motion events
that could be effectively compressed.

I haven't found any use for XDebug.

BTW, XSync is an anti-social call when you're using the toolkit, since
it blocks other application (widget) threads.  Don't try too hard to
encourage its usage, since it has a real potential to make performance
WORSE, not better.
