Detailed Description

Provides a simple interface for running jobs in multiple threads at once.

Each thread that runs a job has access to QEV's thread-local resources.

Function Documentation

Runs the given jobs in the pool, only returning once all jobs have completed.

Parameters

cb	The callback to run from each thread
data	The data to be passed to the threads. Each pointer, 1...N, will be passed to its respective thread. [transfer-none]
datac	The number of data elements that need to be worked on

Asynchronously runs the job in the pool.

Parameters

cb	The callback to run from each thread
data	The data to be passed to the threads. Each pointer, 1...N, will be passed to its respective thread. [transfer-none]
datac	The number of data elements that need to be worked on
joinable	If you wish to be able to wait for the job to finish

Returns: If joinable, then this is the pointer to pass to qev_job_async_join() to wait for the job to complete (if a job is joinable and you don't call _qev_job_async_join(), that's a memory leak). [transfer-full]

void qev_job_async_join ( void * job )

Wait for the async job to complete.

Parameters

job	The job that needs to complete.
