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

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()

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()

ThreadPoolJob::~ThreadPoolJob ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getCurrentThreadPoolJob()

ThreadPoolJob * 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 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.

◆ runJob()

virtual JobStatus juce::ThreadPoolJob::runJob ( )
pure virtual

Peforms 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.

shouldExit()

◆ setJobName()

void ThreadPoolJob::setJobName ( const String newName)

Changes the job's name.

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 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()
