Detailed Description

A task that is executed by a ThreadPool object.

A ThreadPool keeps a list of ThreadPoolJob objects which are executed by its threads.

The runJob() method needs to be implemented to do the task, and if the code that does the work takes a significant time to run, it must keep checking the shouldExit() method to see if something is trying to interrupt the job. If shouldExit() returns true, the runJob() method must return immediately.

Member Enumeration Documentation

JobStatus

enum juce::ThreadPoolJob::JobStatus

These are the values that can be returned by the runJob() method.

Enumerator
jobHasFinished	indicates that the job has finished and can be removed from the pool.
jobNeedsRunningAgain	indicates that the job would like to be called again when a thread is free.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ThreadPoolJob()

juce::ThreadPoolJob::ThreadPoolJob ( const String & name )

explicit

Creates a thread pool job object. After creating your job, add it to a thread pool with ThreadPool::addJob().

~ThreadPoolJob()

juce::ThreadPoolJob::~ThreadPoolJob ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

addListener()

void juce::ThreadPoolJob::addListener

(

Thread::Listener *

listener

)

Add a listener to this thread job which will receive a callback when signalJobShouldExit was called on this thread job.

See also

signalJobShouldExit, removeListener

getCurrentThreadPoolJob()

ThreadPoolJob * juce::ThreadPoolJob::getCurrentThreadPoolJob ( )

static

If the calling thread is being invoked inside a runJob() method, this will return the ThreadPoolJob that it belongs to.

getJobName()

String juce::ThreadPoolJob::getJobName

(

)

const

Returns the name of this job.

See also

setJobName

isRunning()

bool juce::ThreadPoolJob::isRunning ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns true if this job is currently running its runJob() method.

removeListener()

void juce::ThreadPoolJob::removeListener

(

Thread::Listener *

listener

)

Removes a listener added with addListener.

runJob()

virtual JobStatus juce::ThreadPoolJob::runJob ( )

pure virtual

Performs the actual work that this job needs to do.

Your subclass must implement this method, in which is does its work.

If the code in this method takes a significant time to run, it must repeatedly check the shouldExit() method to see if something is trying to interrupt the job. If shouldExit() ever returns true, the runJob() method must return immediately.

If this method returns jobHasFinished, then the job will be removed from the pool immediately. If it returns jobNeedsRunningAgain, then the job will be left in the pool and will get a chance to run again as soon as a thread is free.

See also

shouldExit()

Implemented in juce::DragAndDropHelpers::DragAndDropJob, and juce::PluginListComponent::Scanner::ScanJob.

setJobName()

void juce::ThreadPoolJob::setJobName

(

const String &

newName

)

Changes the job's name.

See also

getJobName

shouldExit()

bool juce::ThreadPoolJob::shouldExit ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns true if something is trying to interrupt this job and make it stop.

Your runJob() method must call this whenever it gets a chance, and if it ever returns true, the runJob() method must return immediately.

See also

signalJobShouldExit()

signalJobShouldExit()

void juce::ThreadPoolJob::signalJobShouldExit

(

)

Calling this will cause the shouldExit() method to return true, and the job should (if it's been implemented correctly) stop as soon as possible.

shouldExit()
