execute_void


Description:

[ Version ( since = "4.2" ) ]
public uint execute_void (owned ThreadWrapperVoidFunc func, void* arg) throws Error

Make this execute the func function with the arg argument (along with a Error which is not error) in the sub thread managed by this.

To execute a function which returns some pointer, use execute.

This method returns immediately. Calling fetch_result is not necessary as func does not return any result. However, it may be necessary to call iterate to give this a chance to execute the arg_destroy_func function if not null (note that iterate is called by fetch_result itself).

Once func's execution is finished, if arg is not null, the arg_destroy_func destruction function is called on arg. This call occurs in the thread calling fetch_result.

If an error occurred in this function, then the arg_destroy_func function is not called to free arg.

Parameters:

this

a ThreadWrapper object

func

the function to execute, not null

arg

argument to pass to func

arg_destroy_func

function to be called when the execution has finished, to destroy arg, or null

Returns:

the job ID, or 0 if an error occurred
