Includes

Description

This object provides an abstraction for creating threads. The default implementation uses a regular GThreadPool to start tasks.

Subclasses can be made to create custom threads.

Functions

GstTaskPoolFunction ()

void
(*GstTaskPoolFunction) (void *user_data);

Task function, see gst_task_pool_push().

Parameters

user_data

user data for the task function

 

gst_task_pool_new ()

GstTaskPool *
gst_task_pool_new (void);

Create a new default task pool. The default task pool will use a regular GThreadPool for threads.

Returns

a new GstTaskPool. gst_object_unref() after usage.

gst_task_pool_prepare ()

void
gst_task_pool_prepare (GstTaskPool *pool,
                       GError **error);

Prepare the taskpool for accepting gst_task_pool_push() operations.

MT safe.

Parameters

pool

a GstTaskPool

 

error

an error return location

 

gst_task_pool_push ()

gpointer
gst_task_pool_push (GstTaskPool *pool,
                    GstTaskPoolFunction func,
                    gpointer user_data,
                    GError **error);

Start the execution of a new thread from pool .

Parameters

pool

a GstTaskPool

 

func

the function to call.

[scope async]

user_data

data to pass to func .

[closure]

error

return location for an error

 

Returns

a pointer that should be used for the gst_task_pool_join function. This pointer can be NULL, you must check error to detect errors.

[transfer none][nullable]


gst_task_pool_join ()

void
gst_task_pool_join (GstTaskPool *pool,
                    gpointer id);

Join a task and/or return it to the pool. id is the id obtained from gst_task_pool_push().

Parameters

pool

a GstTaskPool

 

id

the id

 

gst_task_pool_cleanup ()

void
gst_task_pool_cleanup (GstTaskPool *pool);

Wait for all tasks to be stopped. This is mainly used internally to ensure proper cleanup of internal data structures in test suites.

MT safe.

Parameters

pool

a GstTaskPool

 

Types and Values

  gpointer  (*push)     (GstTaskPool *pool, GstTaskPoolFunction func,
                         gpointer user_data, GError **error);
