Bug#88486: libapt-pkg: Accessor methods for OpProgress, threadsafety
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I'm currently building a multithreaded application on top of libapt-pkg,
which is supposed to run a few operations in the background. For this, I'm
using a subclass of OpProgress which does not make any output or assume
validity of the standard streams and can be queried about the current values.
In some cases, I'd like to use OpTextProgress as a replacement for this class,
however if I give an OpProgress object to my class, I can no longer access my
accessor methods (of course :-) ). Would it be possible to have accessor
methods in OpProgress, possibly even with pthreads style locking around methods
which get/set multiple values (to avoid display oddities)?
I haven't provided a patch since I know you have a different method naming
convention (I use the Java style), so I didn't know how to name the methods.
Simon
