  gint max_threads,
  gboolean exclusive,

)

Description

This function creates a new thread pool similar to g_thread_pool_new() but allowing item_free_func to be specified to free the data passed to g_thread_pool_push() in the case that the GThreadPool is stopped and freed before all tasks have been executed.

item_free_func will not be called on items successfully passed to func. func is responsible for freeing the items passed to it.

Available since: 2.70

This function is not directly available to language bindings.
