Method
GLibThreadjoin
Declaration [src]
gpointer
g_thread_join (
GThread* thread
)
Description [src]
Waits until thread finishes, i.e. the function func, as
given to g_thread_new(), returns or g_thread_exit() is called.
If thread has already terminated, then g_thread_join()
returns immediately.
Any thread can wait for any other thread by calling g_thread_join(),
not just its ‘creator’. Calling g_thread_join() from multiple threads
for the same thread leads to undefined behaviour.
The value returned by func or given to g_thread_exit() is
returned by this function.
g_thread_join() consumes the reference to the passed-in thread.
This will usually cause the GThread struct and associated resources
to be freed. Use g_thread_ref() to obtain an extra reference if you
want to keep the GThread alive beyond the g_thread_join() call.
