|
|
The DMX server code is written to call <a class="el" href="dmxsync_8c.html#a9">dmxSync()</a> whenever an XSync() might be necessary. However, since XSync() requires a two way communication with the other X server, eliminating unnecessary XSync() calls is a key performance optimization. Support for this optimization is provided here. Statistics about XSync() calls and latency are gathered in #dmxstat.c.<p>
|
|
During the initial conversion from calling XSync() immediately to the XSync() batching method implemented in this file, it was noted that, out of more than 300 <em>x11perf</em> tests, 8 tests became more than 100 times faster, with 68 more than 50X faster, 114 more than 10X faster, and 181 more than 2X faster.<hr><h2>Function Documentation</h2>

Request an XSync() to the display used by <em>dmxScreen</em>. If <em>now</em> is TRUE, call XSync() immediately instead of waiting for the next XSync() batching point. Note that if XSync() batching was deselected with <a class="el" href="dmxsync_8c.html#a7">dmxSyncActivate()</a> before <a class="el" href="dmxsync_8c.html#a8">dmxSyncInit()</a> was called, then no XSync() batching is performed and this function always calles XSync() immediately.<p>
|
|
(Note that this function uses TimerSet but works correctly in the face of a server generation. See the source for details.)<p>
|
|
If <em>dmxScreen</em> is <em>NULL</em>, then all pending syncs will be flushed immediately. </td>

Request the XSync() batching optimization with the specified <em>interval</em> (in mS). If the <em>interval</em> is 0, 100mS is used. If the <em>interval</em> is less than 0, then the XSync() batching optimization is not requested (e.g., so the -syncbatch -1 command line option can turn off the default 100mS XSync() batching).<p>
|
|
Note that the parameter to this routine is a string, since it will usually be called from <a class="el" href="dmxinit_8c.html#a40">ddxProcessArgument</a> in #dmxinit.c </td>
