DEFAULT
LOW

Function Documentation

XDISPATCH_EXPORT dispatch_time_t xdispatch::as_delayed_time	(	uint64_t	delay,
		dispatch_time_t	base = DISPATCH_TIME_NOW
	)

Returns:

A dispatch_time_t representing the given delay

Parameters:

delay	The delay in nanoseconds
base	The base to add the delay to, defaults to the current time

XDISPATCH_EXPORT dispatch_time_t xdispatch::as_dispatch_time

(

struct tm *

)

Returns:

The given QTime converted to a dispatch_time_t

XDISPATCH_EXPORT struct tm xdispatch::as_struct_tm

(

dispatch_time_t

t

)

[read]

Returns:

The given dispatch_time_t as time_t

XDISPATCH_EXPORT queue xdispatch::current_queue

(

)

Returns:

The queue the current operation is executed on.

XDISPATCH_EXPORT void xdispatch::exec

(

)

Enters the dispatching loop for the main thread.

Call this somewhere within the main thread to enable dispatching operations to the main queue. Will never return.

XDISPATCH_EXPORT synclock xdispatch::get_lock_for_key

(

unsigned int

key

)

Returns the synclock used to protect the area identified by the given key.

See also:

synchronized

XDISPATCH_EXPORT queue xdispatch::global_queue

(

queue_priority

p = DEFAULT

)

Returns the global queue associated to the given Priority p.

Runnables submitted to these global concurrent queues may be executed concurrently with respect to each other.

Remarks:

Never delete the returned queue!

Returns:

NULL if something went wrong

XDISPATCH_EXPORT queue xdispatch::main_queue

(

)

Returns the main queue.

This is the queue running within the main thread. Thus normally only items put on this queue can change the GUI.

Remarks:

Never delete the returned queue!

Returns:

NULL if something went wrong

XDISPATCH_EXPORT bool xdispatch::operator!=	(	const dispatch_semaphore_t &	,
		const semaphore &
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT bool xdispatch::operator!=	(	const dispatch_object_t &	,
		const object &
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT std::ostream& xdispatch::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	,
		const group &
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT std::ostream& xdispatch::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	,
		const semaphore &
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT std::ostream& xdispatch::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	,
		const semaphore *
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT std::ostream& xdispatch::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	,
		const queue *
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT std::ostream& xdispatch::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	,
		const queue &
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT std::ostream& xdispatch::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	,
		const group *
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT bool xdispatch::operator==	(	const dispatch_semaphore_t &	,
		const semaphore &
	)

XDISPATCH_EXPORT bool xdispatch::operator==	(	const dispatch_object_t &	,
		const object &
	)
