Close connections on standby/hibernate #637

Open DarthGandalf opened 9 years ago

DarthGandalf commented 9 years ago

Reported by chris.morganiser on 05 Dec 2009 16:11:21 UTC Currently KVIrc doesn't do anything special when the machine goes into standby or hibernates. This means that all open connections just time out eventually (in my freenode experience, that's normally 10-35 minutes but I've had it stay on for a few hours before I ghosted it a couple of times).

KVIrc should respond to sleep and hibernate signals and quit all active connections properly. I found the signal in questions for Windows, it's [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373247%28VS.85%29.aspx WM_POWERBROADCAST] with the wParam [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372721%28VS.85%29.aspx PBT_APMSUSPEND].

I finally found a real Qt use-case of this in Psi's [http://psi-im.org/doxygen/private/systemwatch__win_8cpp-source.html systemwatch_win.cpp].

Psi also has stuff for OS X but apparently not for *nix, see their [http://psi-im.org/doxygen/private/dir_8c3dc658874e610e0ca33adc1e81af6d.html systemwatch] folder.

I think that this is fairly important as I would imagine many users do just have KVIrc running on their laptop and sleep or hibernate often, while people on IRC wonder why they're not responding to messages... thus I called it a bug rather than a feature request.

Its up to OS to handle these things no? why should the app be responsible for what the OS does?
