    glibmm signal

    Is it possible to connect a signal handler to a variable?
    So when the variable changes the signal handler is called.

    I have a vector containing strings which i want to parse when there are one or more available strings in the vector.

    i'm using gtkmm.

    thnx.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Not as far as I am aware. There are a number of techniques you can use, depending upon the situation, and what sort of response time you wish to tolerate. I assume this variable is a system-wide volatile variable that other processes, threads, kernel modules may change?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    i solved it

    i used this: library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm-tutorial/2.21/chapter-custom-signals.html.en

    i emitted a signal when there is data available and then a new thread is started with the received data passed to the new thread
