This reverts commit a362c37c8b.
The commit tried to add an unused function that continued our tradition
of not properly waiting for things but instead flooding event loop with
condition checks that delay firing of the event. I think this is a
fundamentally flawed approach. See also checks for
`fire_when_not_visible` in LibCore/EventLoopImplementationUnix.cpp.
The previous iteration of this API was somewhat odd and rough in random
places, which degraded usability and made less than perfect sense.
This commit reworks the API to be a little closer to more
conventional promise APIs (a la javascript promises).
Also adds a test to ensure the class even works.
Things such as timers and notifiers aren't specific to one instance of
Core::EventLoop, so let's not tie them down to EventLoopImplementation.
Instead, move those APIs + signals & a few other things to a new
EventLoopManager interface. EventLoopManager also knows how to create a
new EventLoopImplementation object.
Using QEventLoop works for everything but it breaks *one* little feature
that we care about: automatically quitting the app when all windows have
been closed.
That only works if you drive the outermost main event loop with a
QCoreApplication instead of a QEventLoop. This is unfortunate, as it
complicates our API a little bit, but I'm sure we can think of a way to
make this nicer someday.
In order for QCoreApplication::exec() to process our own
ThreadEventQueue, we now have a zero-timer that we kick whenever new
events are posted to the thread queue.
The EventLoop is now a wrapper around an EventLoopImplementation.
Our old EventLoop code has moved into EventLoopImplementationUnix and
continues to work as before.
The main difference is that all the separate thread_local variables have
been collected into a file-local ThreadData data structure.
The goal here is to allow running Core::EventLoop with a totally
different backend, such as Qt for Ladybird.
Instead of juggling events between individual instances of
Core::EventLoop, move queueing and processing to a separate per-thread
queue (ThreadEventQueue).
