what is event() ?

[F. Bluemers]

I wonder about this in fruit:

Code: Select all

static const bool UseEvent = true; // true
..
..
void search_check() {

   search_send_stat();

   if (UseEvent) event();

it is not in "The programming language C++" (Stroustrup)
so i guess it is a windows thingy? and what does it do?

Andrew Fan found it for me in protocol.cpp
I must have over.looked it
(edit: actually visual c colours event() blue,made me think it was something special)

Code: Select all

[Andrew (Very tired)] -  void event() {
 [Andrew (Very tired)] -     while (!SearchInfo->stop && input_available()) loop_step();
 [Andrew (Very tired)] -  }

thanks
