In this moment the main loop is something like: - Wait something to read from file descriptors - Read from pseudo tty - Call draw() for rending - Read X events This cause the problem that all the X events that have to update the screen have to call draw() (because draw() is called before of X events handling), so you can have multiples renderings in only one iteration, that will waste a lot of resources. This patch change the main loop to: - Wait something to read from file descriptors - Read from pseudo tty - Read X events - Call draw() for rending So X events don't have to worry about rendering, because draw() is called after them. The only place where draw is called outside of the main loop is in redraw(), but it is necessary for getting a good tput flash. --- st.c | 29 ++++++----------------------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) Diffstat: M st.c | 29 ++++++----------------------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) --- (DIR) diff --git a/st.c b/st.c @@ -288,7 +288,6 @@ static void ttywrite(const char *, size_t); static void xdraws(char *, Glyph, int, int, int, int); static void xhints(void); static void xclear(int, int, int, int); -static void xcopy(void); static void xdrawcursor(void); static void xinit(void); static void xloadcols(void); @@ -635,7 +634,6 @@ void selclear(XEvent *e) { return; sel.bx = -1; tsetdirt(sel.b.y, sel.e.y); - draw(); } void @@ -685,8 +683,6 @@ xsetsel(char *str) { clipboard = XInternAtom(xw.dpy, "CLIPBOARD", 0); XSetSelectionOwner(xw.dpy, clipboard, xw.win, CurrentTime); - - XFlush(xw.dpy); } void @@ -729,7 +725,6 @@ brelease(XEvent *e) { } memcpy(&sel.tclick2, &sel.tclick1, sizeof(struct timeval)); gettimeofday(&sel.tclick1, NULL); - draw(); } void @@ -746,7 +741,6 @@ bmotion(XEvent *e) { int starty = MIN(oldey, sel.ey); int endy = MAX(oldey, sel.ey); tsetdirt(starty, endy); - draw(); } } } @@ -2091,13 +2085,6 @@ xdraws(char *s, Glyph base, int x, int y, int charlen, int bytelen) { XDrawLine(xw.dpy, xw.buf, dc.gc, winx, winy+1, winx+width-1, winy+1); } -/* copy buffer pixmap to screen pixmap */ -void -xcopy() { - XdbeSwapInfo swpinfo[1] = {{xw.win, XdbeCopied}}; - XdbeSwapBuffers(xw.dpy, swpinfo, 1); -} - void xdrawcursor(void) { static int oldx = 0; @@ -2118,8 +2105,6 @@ xdrawcursor(void) { } else xclear(oldx, oldy, oldx, oldy); - xcopy(); - /* draw the new one */ if(!(term.c.state & CURSOR_HIDE)) { if(!(xw.state & WIN_FOCUSED)) @@ -2132,8 +2117,6 @@ xdrawcursor(void) { xdraws(g.c, g, term.c.x, term.c.y, 1, sl); oldx = term.c.x, oldy = term.c.y; } - - xcopy(); } void @@ -2152,8 +2135,10 @@ redraw(void) { void draw() { + XdbeSwapInfo swpinfo[1] = {{xw.win, XdbeCopied}}; + drawregion(0, 0, term.col, term.row); - xcopy(); + XdbeSwapBuffers(xw.dpy, swpinfo, 1); } void @@ -2208,7 +2193,6 @@ expose(XEvent *ev) { if(!e->count) xw.state &= ~WIN_REDRAW; } - xcopy(); } void @@ -2241,7 +2225,6 @@ focus(XEvent *ev) { xseturgency(0); } else xw.state &= ~WIN_FOCUSED; - draw(); } char* @@ -2317,7 +2300,6 @@ cmessage(XEvent *e) { } else if(e->xclient.data.l[1] == XEMBED_FOCUS_OUT) { xw.state &= ~WIN_FOCUSED; } - draw(); } } @@ -2358,8 +2340,6 @@ run(void) { if(FD_ISSET(cmdfd, &rfd)) ttyread(); - draw(); - while(XPending(xw.dpy)) { XNextEvent(xw.dpy, &ev); if(XFilterEvent(&ev, xw.win)) @@ -2367,6 +2347,9 @@ run(void) { if(handler[ev.type]) (handler[ev.type])(&ev); } + + draw(); + XFlush(xw.dpy); } }
