Thread

class Thread(pointer: <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class>>) : ProxyInstance

The #GThread struct represents a running thread. This struct is returned by g_thread_new() or g_thread_try_new(). You can obtain the #GThread struct representing the current thread by calling g_thread_self().

GThread is refcounted, see g_thread_ref() and g_thread_unref(). The thread represented by it holds a reference while it is running, and g_thread_join() consumes the reference that it is given, so it is normally not necessary to manage GThread references explicitly.

The structure is opaque -- none of its fields may be directly accessed.

handle

open override val handle: <Error class: unknown class>?

Functions

equals

open operator override fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Compare two proxy instances for equality. This will compare both the type of the instances, and their memory addresses.

hashCode

open override fun hashCode(): Int

join

fun join(): <Error class: unknown class>?

Waits until @thread finishes, i.e. the function @func, as given to g_thread_new(), returns or g_thread_exit() is called. If @thread has already terminated, then g_thread_join() returns immediately.

ref

fun ref(): Thread

Increase the reference count on @thread.

setPriority

fun setPriority(priority: ThreadPriority)

This function does nothing.

unref

fun unref()

Decrease the reference count on @thread, possibly freeing all resources associated with it.
