Method
GLibThreadPoolset_max_threads
Declaration
gboolean
g_thread_pool_set_max_threads (
GThreadPool* pool,
gint max_threads,
GError** error
)
Description
Sets the maximal allowed number of threads for pool.
A value of -1 means that the maximal number of threads
is unlimited. If pool is an exclusive thread pool, setting
the maximal number of threads to -1 is not allowed.
Setting max_threads to 0 means stopping all work for pool.
It is effectively frozen until max_threads is set to a non-zero
value again.
A thread is never terminated while calling func, as supplied by
g_thread_pool_new(). Instead the maximal number of threads only
has effect for the allocation of new threads in g_thread_pool_push().
A new thread is allocated, whenever the number of currently
running threads in pool is smaller than the maximal number.
error can be NULL to ignore errors, or non-NULL to report
errors. An error can only occur when a new thread couldn’t be created.
Before version 2.32, this function did not return a success status.
Parameters
max_threads-
Type:
gintA new maximal number of threads for
pool, or -1 for unlimited. error-
Type:
GError **The return location for a recoverable error.
The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will left initialized to NULLby the method if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
