Browser 1.2 and 1.3 just opened an IDCMP for each window, and had a loop like
this:
while(1) {
Wait(sigmask); /* sigmask is OR of all ports' sigbits */
for(each window, w) {
while(msg = GetMsg(w->UserPort->mp_SigBits)) {
copymsg = *msg; /* structure copy */
ReplyMsg(msg);
switch(copymsg.Class) {
...
}
}
}
}
Browser 1.4 and 1.5 had one IDCMP shared between all the windows, and used
CLoseWindowSafely(). Unfortunately, it wasn't safe. So 1.6 has gone back to
one IDCMP per window.
