[kaffe] how to use NATIVE_DISPATCHER_LOOP in QT awt backend?

[KIM, Seong-beom]

Dear kaffe-awt experts,

I'm trying to use NATIVE_DISPATCHER_LOOP in my mips, qt-awt configuration.
What I did is making tlkProperties() return TLK_NATIVE_DISPATCHER_LOOP
so that NativeCollector is used when Toolkit is initialized,

Additionally, I changed tlkInit() in tlk.cc to call qapp->exec()
which never return, because it processes events in QT.

After these modification, I tried some AWT example java application only to get
these errors.


# kaffe -vmdebug VMTHREAD dwe.application.ApplicationMgr
createDaemon finaliser
createDaemon gc
tlkProperties
firstStartThread 0x100f1de0
Dumping live threads:
`AWT-native' tid 0x10118010, status SUSPENDED flags DONTSTOP

Deadlock: all threads blocked on internal events
Aborted (core dumped)



In run() method of NativeCollector which is defined in Toolkit.java,
the following comments can be read.

 // this does not return until the we shut down the system, since it
 // consititutes the native dispatcher loop. Don't be confused about
 // tlkInit being a sync method. It gives up the lock in the native
 // layer before falling into its dispatcher loop


I don't get the exact meaning of 3rd and 4th lines of the comments...
Did I miss something critical in tlkInit() method?


Any help will be immensely appreciated.  ;-)
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Kim, Seongbeom
