Hey. I'm new to this list.
I've joined the list because something that really bug me with GIO: I've seen the big improvement that have been invested in GTask.The API is good, but the name GTask is BAD. First, there were an old project called GTask[0], which tried to give parallelism ability and alternative to today GIO async(I think it wasn't exist back than). At first, I thought, what? Gtask has been merged with GIO? But the real problem is not project GTask confusion, but the fact you defined "Task" as async-method-internal implication to GAsyncResult. Who said that "Task" is async method user_data? Also, I suppose that on some stage of GLib, it would have GParallelTask, GParallelFor, etc., i.e. something similar to .Net Task Parallel Library (TPL)[1]. TPL is a higher level of thread pool, which allows global tasking, i.e. shared thread pool) between all tasks in the program.) Now, you can see the GParallelTask vs GTask conflict clearly. I suppose you just change GTask to a more specific name, say, GAsyncTask This is not a stable API yet, you can fix this. Wait for your reply, Tal |
