39 * @title: Thread Pools
40 * @short_description: pools of threads to execute work concurrently
43 * Sometimes you wish to asynchronously fork out the execution of work
44 * and continue working in your own thread. If that will happen often,
45 * the overhead of starting and destroying a thread each time might be
46 * too high. In such cases reusing already started threads seems like a
47 * good idea. And it indeed is, but implementing this can be tedious
50 * Therefore GLib provides thread pools for your convenience. An added
51 * advantage is, that the threads can be shared between the different
52 * subsystems of your program, when they are using GLib.
54 * To create a new thread pool, you use g_thread_pool_new().
55 * It is destroyed by g_thread_pool_free().
57 * If you want to execute a certain task within a thread pool,
58 * you call g_thread_pool_push().
60 * To get the current number of running threads you call
61 * g_thread_pool_get_num_threads(). To get the number of still
62 * unprocessed tasks you call g_thread_pool_unprocessed(). To control
63 * the maximal number of threads for a thread pool, you use
64 * g_thread_pool_get_max_threads() and g_thread_pool_set_max_threads().
66 * Finally you can control the number of unused threads, that are kept
67 * alive by GLib for future use. The current number can be fetched with
68 * g_thread_pool_get_num_unused_threads(). The maximal number can be
69 * controlled by g_thread_pool_get_max_unused_threads() and
70 * g_thread_pool_set_max_unused_threads(). All currently unused threads
71 * can be stopped by calling g_thread_pool_stop_unused_threads().
