Rendezvous, event loops, and why I need SDK docs

Embedded Revolution supports access to the main event loop. The idea behind embedded Revolution is you would link your external code with librev and compile a custom engine. The advantages are

1) no external overhead on Linux.
2) Single file executable
3) Access to event loops.

I don't see why we can't support access to the event loop for externals as well..the external would need to register the callback however to avoid any performance problems.

We are working on it.  Tim Monroe just wrote an excellent article on  developing QT externals with Rev, and we plan to extend on some of that for our own docs
