GTaskScheduler; GTaskScheduler* g_task_scheduler_get_default (void); GTaskScheduler* g_task_scheduler_new (void); void g_task_scheduler_schedule (GTaskScheduler *self, GTask *task);
GTaskScheduler provides management over how tasks are executed. It can be inherited and tuned for particular problem sets.
However, the API as it is now will be going through a series of changes in the time ahead. So keep that in mind.
The base GTaskScheduler implementation uses a GThreadPool internally to execute the tasks. Thread management may well be pulled out of the scheduler soon so that it may concentrate on more important things.
GTaskScheduler* g_task_scheduler_get_default (void);
Gets the default GTaskScheduler for the process.
Returns : |
A GTaskScheduler |
GTaskScheduler* g_task_scheduler_new (void);
Creates a new instance of GTaskScheduler. This default scheduler uses a GThreadPool for task execution.
Returns : |
A new GTaskScheduler. |
void g_task_scheduler_schedule (GTaskScheduler *self, GTask *task);
This method will schedule a task to be executed on a thread of
execution. The default GTaskScheduler implementation uses a
GThreadPool to perform the task. g_task_execute()
will be called
from within the executing thread.

"main-dispatch"
property"main-dispatch" gboolean : Read / Write
The main-dispatch property determines if tasks processed by the scheduler should perform callbacks inside of the main thread.
The default value is TRUE.
By performing callbacks in the main thread, gtk+ developers can avoid the task of acquiring the GDK thread lock as their dispatching thread will already own it.
Default value: TRUE
