in thread How to wait for events, and not lose any, while processing them ?

This is great, textbook example of handling events with additional thread, thanks.

The problem however, is that the 'processEvents' CAUSES new events to be generated, thus, without echo-filter

while ($keepOnWatching) {
       if (ThisIsNotMyOwnEcho()) {# echo-filter
             processEvents();
       }
};

this solution changes 1-cpu burning into multiple-cores burning program.

If you only describe half the problem, (less--how do you distinguish an "echo" from the "real thing"?), you only get half a solution. That said, the architecture stays the same.

You either filter events before you queue them, or after you dequeue them, whichever is more convenient and timely.
