Detailed Description

A group is a group of operations dispatched on queues.

This class provides a way to track all these operations and notify you if all of them finished executing.

Member Function Documentation

void xdispatch::group::async	(	operation *	r,
		const queue &	q = global_queue()
	)

Dispatches an operation on the given Queue.

Parameters:

r	The operation to be dispatched
q	The Queue to use. If no Queue is given, the system default queue will be used

Reimplemented in QDispatchGroup.

void xdispatch::group::async	(	dispatch_block_t	b,
		const queue &	q = global_queue()
	)

Same as dispatch(operation* r, ...) Will wrap the given block in an operation and put it on the queue.

Reimplemented in QDispatchGroup.

const dispatch_group_t xdispatch::group::native

(

)

const

Returns:

The dispatch_group_t object associated with this C++ object. Use this, if you need to use the plain C Interface of libdispatch.

void xdispatch::group::notify	(	operation *	r,
		const queue &	q = global_queue()
	)

This function schedules a notification operation to be submitted to the specified queue once all operations associated with the dispatch group have completed.

If no operations are associated with the dispatch group (i.e. the group is empty) then the notification operation will be submitted immediately.

The operation will be empty at the time the notification block is submitted to the target queue immediately. The group may either be deleted or reused for additional operations.

See also:

dispatch() for more information.

Reimplemented in QDispatchGroup.

void xdispatch::group::notify	(	dispatch_block_t	b,
		const queue &	q = global_queue()
	)

This function schedules a notification block to be submitted to the specified queue once all blocks associated with the dispatch group have completed.

If no blocks are associated with the dispatch group (i.e. the group is empty) then the notification block will be submitted immediately.

The group will be empty at the time the notification block is submitted to the target queue. The group may either be deleted or reused for additional operations.

See also:

dispatch() for more information.

Reimplemented in QDispatchGroup.

bool xdispatch::group::wait

(

dispatch_time_t

= DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER

)

Waits until the given time has passed or all dispatched operations in the group were executed.

Parameters:

t	give a time here or a DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER to wait until all operations are done

Returns:

false if the timeout occured or true if all operations were executed

bool xdispatch::group::wait

(

struct tm *

t

)

Waits until the given time has passed or all dispatched operations in the group were executed.

Parameters:

timeout

give a timeout here

Returns:

false if the timeout occured or true if all operations were executed
