Re: Lots of characters lost while typing in Unix

Another thing, that i think it would be better is to not have an
instance side methods.
Since we never need a multiple instances of InputEventFetcher in
system, then instead of singleton scheme, it would be better to move
all methods and ivars to class side - simply because a class is
already singleton.
This will help to avoid discrepancies, like we just met.

Thinking a bit more about it..

It could stay separated (instance/class side). But there are two
things is missing IMO:
- reinstalling a new event fetcher should preserve the list of handlers
- an access to collection of eventHandlers should be guarded by
semaphore, because there could be a concurrency issues when one
process handling an event, while another one trying to install new
event handler to same collection.

maybe more appropriate would be to remove startup/shutdown methods
from event fetcher, and merge things in InputEventSensor, to make sure
everything is ok , and sensor always speaking with currently installed
event fetcher.

-10000

Using singleton instances is a proven design pattern.
And, you never know if you won't need more than one input fetcher ;-)

and then a old event fetcher can simply #become: to a new one.

sorry for flooding :)

Clearly, this is not the case, because your code hosted on a single VM
;) and its the only source of events for fetcher.

Re: Lots of characters lost while typing in Unix

Michael Roberts-2
sorry to be pedantic but Michael's right.  even if the second client
of the class is a test where you make an instance on the fly, assert a
few things and clean it up.  You then have at least 2 instances. the
singleton and short-lived adhoc ones.  systems with dependencies on
global state or behaviour are very hard to test.

cheers,

Mike

Thanks, for argument!
I'm also trying to be pedantic when proposing this. :)
My point was, that its obviously an overkill to have a
singleton<class> linked with singleton<instance> without strong
evidences where multiple instances could be useful.
