## Detailed Description

A class representing a pool of GStreamer streaming threads.

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

Subclasses can be made to create custom threads.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef sigc::slot<void> Gst::TaskPool::SlotPush

For example, void on_do_push();.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gst::TaskPool::~TaskPool | ( | ) | `[virtual]`

Gst::TaskPool::TaskPool | ( | ) | `[protected]`

## Member Function Documentation

void Gst::TaskPool::cleanup | ( | ) |

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.

Since gstreamermm 0.10:
  .24

virtual void Gst::TaskPool::cleanup_vfunc | ( | ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual function to cleanup the thread pool.

static Glib::RefPtr<TaskPool> Gst::TaskPool::create | ( | ) | `[static]`

Create a new default task pool.

The default task pool will use a regular Glib::ThreadPool for threads.

Returns:
  A new Gst::TaskPool.

GstTaskPool* Gst::TaskPool::gobj | ( | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Gst::Object.

const GstTaskPool* Gst::TaskPool::gobj | ( | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Gst::Object.

GstTaskPool* Gst::TaskPool::gobj_copy | ( | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Reimplemented from Gst::Object.

void Gst::TaskPool::join | ( | gpointer | id ) |

Join a task and/or return it to the pool.

id is the id obtained from push().

Since gstreamermm 0.10:
  .24

Parameters:

  id | The id.

virtual void Gst::TaskPool::join_vfunc | ( | gpointer | id ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual function to join a thread.

void Gst::TaskPool::prepare | ( | ) |

Exceptions:

  Glib::Error. |

virtual void Gst::TaskPool::prepare_vfunc | ( | ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual function which prepares the thread pool.

Exceptions:

  Glib::Error. |

gpointer Gst::TaskPool::push | ( | const SlotPush & | slot ) |

Start the execution of a new thread from pool.

Parameters:

  slot | The function to call.

Returns:
  A pointer that should be used for the join() method. This pointer can be 0, you must check error to detect errors.

Exceptions:

  Glib::Error. |

virtual gpointer Gst::TaskPool::push_vfunc | ( | const SlotPush & | slot ) | `[virtual]`

Virtual function which starts a new thread.

Exceptions:

  Glib::Error. |

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gst::TaskPool > wrap | ( | GstTaskPool * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
