344 run the CFRunLoop with a timeout of 0 seconds. In that case, our
345 run loop observer on kCFRunLoopBeforeWaiting never fires because
346 no waiting occurs. Therefore, no idle events are sent.
348 Believe it or not, this is actually desirable because we do not want
349 to process idle from here. However, we do want to process pending
350 events because some user code expects to do work in a thread while
351 the main thread waits and then notify the main thread by posting

373 NSAutoreleasePool in place because wxThread has no knowledge of
374 wxCocoa. The pool here is generally only ever going to contain
375 the NSEvent we create with the factory method. As soon as we add
376 it to the main event queue with postEvent:atStart: it is retained
377 and so safe for our pool to release.

384 the event which is then sent with sendEvent: and essentially dropped

388 With the exception of wxEventLoop::Exit which uses us to cause the
389 runloop to exit and return to the NSApplication event loop, most
390 callers only need wx idle to happen, or more specifically only really
391 need to ensure that ProcessPendingEvents is called which is currently
392 done without exiting the runloop.

414 Invoked from the applicationWillUpdate notification observer. See the
415 NSApplication documentation for the official statement on when this
416 will be called. Since it can be hard to understand for a Cocoa newbie
417 I'll try to explain it here as it relates to wxCocoa.
419 Basically, we get called from within nextEventMatchingMask if and only
420 if any user code told the application to send the update notification
421 (sort of like a request for idle events). However, unlike wx idle events,
422 this notification is sent quite often, nearly every time through the loop
423 because nearly every control tells the application to send it.
425 Because wx idle events are only supposed to be sent when the event loop
426 is about to block we instead schedule a function to be called just
427 before the run loop waits and send the idle events from there.
429 It also has the desirable effect of only sending the wx idle events when
430 the event loop is actualy going to block. If the event loop is being
431 pumped manualy (e.g. like a PeekMessage) then the kCFRunLoopBeforeWaiting
432 observer never fires. Our Yield() method depends on this because sending
433 idle events from within Yield would be bad.
435 Normally you might think that we could just set the observer up once and
436 leave it attached. However, this is problematic because our run loop
437 observer calls user code (the idle handlers) which can actually display
438 modal dialogs. Displaying a modal dialog causes reentry of the event
439 loop, usually in a different run loop mode than the main loop (e.g. in
440 modal-dialog mode instead of default mode). Because we only register the
441 observer with the run loop mode at the time of this call, it won't be
442 called from a modal loop.
444 We want it to be called and thus we need a new observer.

503 Called by CFRunLoop just before waiting. This is the appropriate time to
504 send idle events. Unlike other ports, we don't peek the queue for events
505 and stop idling if there is one. Instead, if the user requests more idle
506 events we tell Cocoa to send us an applicationWillUpdate notification
507 which will cause our observer of that notification to tell CFRunLoop to
508 call us before waiting which will cause us to be fired again but only
509 after exhausting the event queue.
511 The reason we do it this way is that peeking for an event causes CFRunLoop
512 to reenter and fire off its timers, observers, and sources which we're
513 better off avoiding. Doing it this way, we basically let CFRunLoop do the
514 work of peeking for the next event which is much nicer.

547 /* A note about Cocoa's event loops vs. run loops:
549 It's important to understand that Cocoa has a two-level event loop. The
550 outer level is run by NSApplication and can only ever happen on the main
551 thread. The nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue: method returns
552 the next event which is then given to sendEvent: to send it. These
553 methods are defined in NSApplication and are thus part of AppKit.
555 Events (NSEvent) are only sent due to actual user actions like clicking
556 the mouse or moving the mouse or pressing a key and so on. There are no
557 paint events; there are no timer events; there are no socket events; there
560 All of those types of "events" have nothing to do with the GUI at all.
561 That is why Cocoa's AppKit doesn't implement them. Instead, they are
562 implemented in Foundation's NSRunLoop which on OS X uses CFRunLoop
563 to do the actual work.
565 How NSApplication uses NSRunLoop is rather interesting. Basically, it
566 interacts with NSRunLoop only from within the nextEventMatchingMask
567 method. It passes its inMode: argument almost directly to NSRunLoop
568 and thus CFRunLoop. The run loop then runs (e.g. loops) until it
569 is told to exit. The run loop calls the callout functions directly.
570 From within those callout functions the run loop is considered to
571 be running. Presumably, the AppKit installs a run loop source to
572 receive messages from the window server over the mach port (like a
573 socket). For some messages (e.g. need to paint) the AppKit will
574 call application code like drawRect: without exiting the run loop.
575 For other messages (ones that can be encapsulated in an NSEvent)
576 the AppKit tells the run loop to exit which returns control to
577 the nextEventMatchingMask method which then returns the NSEvent
578 object. It's important to note that once the runloop has exited
579 it is no longer considered running and thus if you ask it which
580 mode it is running in it will return nil.
582 When manually pumping the event loop care should be taken to
583 tell it to run in the correct mode. For instance, if you are
584 using it to run a modal dialog then you want to run it in
585 the modal panel run loop mode. AppKit presumably has sources
586 or timers or observers that specifically don't listen on this
587 mode. Another interesting mode is the connection reply mode.
588 This allows Cocoa to wait for a response from a distributed
589 objects message without firing off user code that may result
590 in a DO call being made thus recursing. So basically, the
591 mode is a way for Cocoa to attempt to avoid run loop recursion
592 but to allow it under certain circumstances.
