Hi,
I'd like to ask, where is the difference between vars in "shared Arena"
and global vars. By default I put all my vars handeled by different
processes(isect,app,cull,draw) into the shared arena, but I think it
"looks" better to init them as global (and I don't have to write long
pointer names).
Wouldn't a function (for example) located in the isect-process, changing
some widgets of the panel and some parameters off the draw-process work
as good by using global variables, although these actions should be
enabled in the next frame ?
Isn't a global var as visible to all processes as a shared var located
in shared arena ?
