Member Function Documentation

OPENMAYA_MAJOR_NAMESPACE_OPEN MStatus init ( )

static

Initialize asynchronous thread creation mechanism.

No threads are created by this call. Each call to init increases a reference count on the class, each call to release() reduces the reference count. When the reference count reaches zero the threads are deleted.

Returns

• MS::kSuccess The method was successful.
• MS::kInsufficientMemory Insufficient memory to complete this method

Examples:

MStatus createTask ( MThreadFunc  func, void *  data, MThreadAsyncCallbackFunc  afunc, MThreadRootTask *  root  )

static

Create a single task.

createMapping must have been called before calling this method.

Parameters

[in]	func	pointer to function to be executed by threads
[in]	data	data for function
[in]	afunc	pointer to callback function to be executed by threads
[in]	root	root task

Returns

• MS::kSuccess The method was successful.
• MS::kFailure Thread does not exist, call createMapping first

Examples:

void release ( )

static

This function decreases the reference count on the class.

When the reference count reaches zero the threads are deleted.

Examples:

const char * className ( )

static

Returns the name of this class.

Returns

The name of this class.
