Function Macro

GdkTHREADS_ENTER

deprecated: 3.6

Declaration [src]

#define GDK_THREADS_ENTER (
  void
)

Description [src]

This macro marks the beginning of a critical section in which GDK and GTK+ functions can be called safely and without causing race conditions. Only one thread at a time can be in such a critial section. The macro expands to a no-op if #G_THREADS_ENABLED has not been defined. Typically gdk_threads_enter() should be used instead of this macro.

Deprecated since: 3.6

Use g_main_context_invoke(), g_idle_add() and related functions if you need to schedule GTK+ calls from other threads.

This function is not directly available to language bindings.
