Many approaches have been stated. I usually prefer to stuff the file
reading function into the idle handler (well, not the whole thing, of
course, but a function which reads some reasonably-sized chunk). This
way, the GUI stays responsive (the progress bar not moving is probably
just part of the problem), and I don't have to mess with threads. As a
very incomplete (and untested) example:
Slurp a whole file into a GString (caveat emptor: it'll fill your memory
:)
| GSourceFunc chunk_reader;
|
| typedef struct {
| GString *buf;
| int fd;
| } file_reader;
|
| file_reader rd;
| rd.buf = g_string_new("");
| rd.fd = -1; /* not open yet */
|
| g_idle_add(chunk_reader, (gpointer) &rd);
|
| /* now go about GUI business, like so */
| gtk_main();
|
| g_string_free(rd.buf, TRUE);
| if(rd.fd >= 0) close(rd.fd);
|
| static gboolean chunk_reader(gpointer data)
| {
| char chunk[4096];
| size_t len;
| file_reader *rd = (file_reader *) data;
| if(data->fd < 0) { /* not open yet */
| if( (data->fd = open("/path/to/my/file", O_RDONLY)) < 0 ) {
| g_warning("Gosh! can't open file!");
| return FALSE; /* remove us from idle */
| }
| }
| len = read(rd->fd, chunk, sizeof(chunk));
| g_string_append_len(rd->buf, chunk, len);
| if(len<sizeof(chunk)) {
| close(rd->fd);
| rd->fd = -1;
| return FALSE; /* we are finished */
| }
| returnTRUE;
| }
Now you just have to enhance the struct file_reader by a member counting
the bytes read and maybe a guess of how much to do and update your
progress bar accordingnly (how to find out the total amount is left as
an exercise... and so on and so forth ;)
A pointer to the progress bar in the struct file_reader might come in
handy too, to be able to call the update func from whithin the idle
handler.
