A class representing GStreamer streaming threads.
Gst::Task is used by Gst::Element and Gst::Pad to provide the data passing threads in a Gst::Pipeline.
A Gst::Pad will typically start a Gst::Task to push or pull data to/from the peer pads. Most source elements start a Gst::Task to push data. In some cases a demuxer element can start a Gst::Task to pull data from a peer element. This is typically done when the demuxer can perform random access on the upstream peer element for improved performance.
Although convenience functions exist on Gst::Pad to start/pause/stop tasks, it might sometimes be needed to create a Gst::Task manually if it is not related to a Gst::Pad.
Before the Gst::Task can be run, it needs a Glib::StaticRecMutex that can be set with set_lock().
The task can be started, paused and stopped with start(), pause() and stop() respectively.
A Gst::Task will repeadedly call the Gst::Task::SlotTask that was provided when creating the task with create(). Before calling the function it will acquire the provided lock.
Stopping a task with stop() will not immediatly make sure the task is not running anymore. Use join() to make sure the task is completely stopped and the thread is stopped.

typedef sigc::slot<void, const Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Task>&, Glib::Threads::Thread*> Gst::Task::BiSlot |
Bidirectional slot.
typedef BiSlot Gst::Task::SlotEnter |
For example, void on_enter(const Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Task>& task, Glib::Threads::Thread& thread);.
A thread is entered, this slot is called when the new thread enters its function.
typedef BiSlot Gst::Task::SlotLeave |
For example, void on_leave(const Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Task>& task, Glib::Threads::Thread& thread);.
A thread is exiting, this is called when the thread is about to leave its function.
typedef sigc::slot<void> Gst::Task::SlotTask |
For example, void on_do_task();.

Wait for all tasks to be stopped.
This is mainly used internally to ensure proper cleanup of internal data structures in test suites.
MT safe.

static |
Create a new Gst::Task that will repeatedly call the provided slot as a parameter.
Typically the task will run in a new thread.
The slot cannot be changed after the task has been created. You must create a new Gst::Task to change the slot.
task_slot | The Gst::Task::SlotTask to use. |
Glib::RefPtr<Gst::TaskPool> Gst::Task::get_pool | ( | ) |
Get the Gst::TaskPool that this task will use for its streaming threads.
MT safe.
Glib::RefPtr<const Gst::TaskPool> Gst::Task::get_pool | ( | ) | const |
Get the Gst::TaskPool that this task will use for its streaming threads.
MT safe.

inline |
Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GstTask* Gst::Task::gobj_copy | ( | ) |
Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.
bool Gst::Task::join | ( | ) |
Joins task.
After this call, it is safe to unref the task and clean up the lock set with set_lock().
The task will automatically be stopped with this call.
This function cannot be called from within a task function as this would cause a deadlock. The function will detect this and print a g_warning.
true
if the task could be joined.MT safe.
bool Gst::Task::pause | ( | ) |
Pauses task.
This method can also be called on a task in the stopped state, in which case a thread will be started and will remain in the paused state. This function does not wait for the task to complete the paused state.
true
if the task could be paused.MT safe.
void Gst::Task::set_lock | ( | Glib::Threads::RecMutex & | mutex | ) |
void Gst::Task::set_pool | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::TaskPool >& | pool | ) |
Set pool as the new GstTaskPool for task.
Any new streaming threads that will be created by task will now use pool.
MT safe.
pool | A Gst::TaskPool. |
void Gst::Task::set_state | ( | Gst::TaskState | state | ) |
Sets the state of task to state.
The task must have a lock associated with it using set_lock() when going to GST_TASK_STARTED or GST_TASK_PAUSED or this function will return false
.
MT safe.
state | The new task state. |
true
if the state could be changed. Set slots which will be executed when a new thread is needed, the thread function is entered and left and when the thread is joined.
By default a thread for the task will be created from a default thread pool.
Objects can use custom Glib::Threads::Thread or can perform additional configuration of the threads (such as changing the thread priority) by installing slots.
MT safe.
enter_slot | A SlotEnter slot. |
leave_slot | A SlotLeave slot. |
Since 0.10.24.
bool Gst::Task::start | ( | ) |
Starts task.
The task must have a lock associated with it using set_lock() or this function will return false
.
true
if the task could be started.MT safe.
bool Gst::Task::stop | ( | ) |
Stops task.
This method merely schedules the task to stop and will not wait for the task to have completely stopped. Use join() to stop and wait for completion.
true
if the task could be stopped.MT safe.
