Typedef Documentation

typedef dispatch_time_t xdispatch::time

Stores high resolution times used for timers and timeouts throughout xdispatch.

Definition at line 88 of file base.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum xdispatch::queue_priority

Three priority classes used for the three standard global queues.

Enumerator:

HIGH
DEFAULT
LOW

Definition at line 125 of file base.h.

Function Documentation

time xdispatch::as_delayed_time	(	uint64_t	delay,
		time	base = `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

time xdispatch::as_dispatch_time ( struct tm * )

Returns:: The given tm converted to a time

dispatch_time_t xdispatch::as_native_dispatch_time ( const time & t ) [inline]

Returns:: The given time converted to a dispatch time

Definition at line 157 of file base.h.

struct tm xdispatch::as_struct_tm ( const time & t ) [read]

Returns:: The given dispatch_time_t as time_t

queue xdispatch::current_queue ( )

Returns:: The queue the current operation is executed on.

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.

Remarks:: Applications that call dispatch_main(), NSApplicationMain(), NSApplicationMain() or call exec() on a QDispatchApplication object do not need to call this.

See also:: dispatch_main()

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

void xdispatch::init_semaphore_for_synclock ( void * )

See also:: synchronized

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
