/** Signal class for inter-thread communication.
* @ingroup Threads
* Glib::Dispatcher works similar to sigc::signal<void>. But unlike normal
* signals, the notification happens asynchronously through a pipe. This is
* a simple and efficient way of communicating between threads, and especially
* useful in a thread model with a single GUI thread.
*
* No mutex locking is involved, apart from the operating system's internal
* I/O locking. That implies some usage rules:
*
* @li Only one thread may connect to the signal and receive notification, but
* multiple senders are allowed even without locking.
* @li The GLib main loop must run in the receiving thread (this will be the
* GUI thread usually).
* @li The Dispatcher object must be instantiated by the receiver thread.
* @li The Dispatcher object should be instantiated before creating any of the
* sender threads, if you want to avoid extra locking.
* @li The Dispatcher object must be deleted by the receiver thread.
* @li All Dispatcher objects instantiated by the same receiver thread must
* use the same main context.
*
* Notes about performance:
*
* @li After instantiation, Glib::Dispatcher will never lock any mutexes on its
* own. The interaction with the GLib main loop might involve locking on the
* @em receiver side. The @em sender side, however, is guaranteed not to lock,
* except for internal locking in the <tt>%write()</tt> system call.
* @li All Dispatcher instances of a receiver thread share the same pipe. That
* is, if you use Glib::Dispatcher only to notify the GUI thread, only one pipe
* is created no matter how many Dispatcher objects you have.
*
* Using Glib::Dispatcher on Windows:
*
* Glib::Dispatcher also works on win32-based systems. Unfortunately though,
* the implementation cannot use a pipe on win32 and therefore does have to
* lock a mutex on emission, too. However, the impact on performance is
* likely minor and the notification still happens asynchronously. Apart
* from the additional lock the behavior matches the Unix implementation.
