bg_set_spare_its ()

void
bg_set_spare_its (ITSignaler *its);

This function requests that the "background" handle the caching or the destruction of its . It is intended to be called only from within the itsignaler_unref() method when the reference count is 0, but right before destroying it.

The caller (the ITSIgnaler's code) must first set the reference count to 1 (and not destroy the object).

bg_get_spare_its ()

ITSignaler *
bg_get_spare_its (void);

Requests the "background" thread to provide a ITSignaler which it has kept as a cache (see bg_set_spare_its()). The return value may be NULL (if no ITSignaler object is available), or a pointer to a ITSignaler which refcount is 1.

bg_set_spare_gda_worker ()

void
bg_set_spare_gda_worker (GdaWorker *worker);

This function requests that the "background" handle the caching or the destruction of worker . It is intended to be called only from within the gda_worker_unref() method when the reference count is 0, but right before destroying it.

The caller (the GdaWorker's code) must first set the reference count to 1 (and not destroy the object).

bg_get_spare_gda_worker ()

GdaWorker *
bg_get_spare_gda_worker (void);

Requests the "background" thread to provide a GdaWorker which it has kept as a cache (see bg_set_spare_gda_worker()). The return value may be NULL (if no GdaWorker object is available), or a pointer to a GdaWorker which refcount is 1 and which has a worker thread available immediately (no job pending or in process).

bg_join_thread ()

void
bg_join_thread ();

This function must be called by a thread right before it exits, it tells the "background" thread that it can call g_thread_join() without having the risk of blocking. It is called by worker threads right before they exit.

bg_update_stats ()

void
bg_update_stats (BackgroundStats type);
