From: Alexandru Gagniuc Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2012 00:07:10 +0000 (-0600) Subject: demo: Do not use a separate thread for generating data X-Git-Tag: dsupstream~498 X-Git-Url: https://sigrok.org/gitaction?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b20367381bcd955e604c40d05f489f2221c036a;p=libsigrok.git demo: Do not use a separate thread for generating data We already have an event-based mechanism in place. Using a thread just adds unneeded complexity, especially for a driver designed not for performance, but for providing a testbed to frontends. Generate the data in the event handler, not in a separate thread.
