Original bug ID: 4485
Reporter: sharvil
Status: closed (set by @damiendoligez on 2013-07-09T14:06:41Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Version: 3.10.1
Target version: 4.01.0+dev
Fixed in version: 4.01.0+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)
Monitored by: @Chris00

Bug description

Keyboard events and other X events are delivered only after a mouse click in the sample application below. This behaviour is only observed when compiled natively.

The issue is related to the delivery of signals. When polling, SIGIO is not delivered in a timely fashion to its handler. Adding the following lines to the start of the function otherlibs/graph/events.c#caml_gr_wait_event_poll fixes the issue by forcing signal delivery.

enter_blocking_section();
leave_blocking_section();

Additional information

Configuration:

OCaml: 3.10.1 (also tested on 3.9.2)
OS: Linux 2.6.16 (Debian Etch)
CPU: Dual-Core AMD Opteron @ 2.6GHz
Command Line: ocamlopt graphics.cmxa test.ml -o test; ./test

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Compile code below using ocamlopt
  2. Run application
  3. Type string "abc" with "OCaml graphics" window focused
  4. Click mouse on "OCaml graphics" window

Sample code (test.ml):

let main () =
Graphics.open_graph " 320x320";

let rec event_loop () =
    if Graphics.key_pressed () then
        Printf.printf "Key = %c\n%!" (Graphics.read_key ())
    ;

    if Graphics.button_down () then
    (
        let x, y = Graphics.mouse_pos () in
        Printf.printf "Mouse at %d,%d\n%!" x y
    );

    event_loop ()
in

event_loop ();
Graphics.close_graph ()

;;

main ();;

Expected output:

Key = a
Key = b
Key = c
Mouse at xxx,yyy

Actual output:

Mouse at xxx,yyy
Key = a
Key = b
Key = c
