Re: [Vala] GPrivete and GStaticPrivate...and threads with their own data

[Mihail Naydenov <mlists ymail com>]

After same digging I came to this:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vala-list/2008-May/msg00144.html

It seams there is no way to pass custom data to new threads, they always operate on the spawning class members.

I do not know much about threading and vala, but that is quite limiting, and even the simplest things (like giving the new thread a unique name) look hard or impossible in my head :/
Even events have both Sender and Event args to represent the context in which they are called...

Please, anyone with vala threading experience, share the typical pattern of using threads,.
Many thanks in advance!

Ok, further with the extreme novice questions, but how can one pass custom(different) data to new threads?!?

Thread.create accepts a ThreadFunc delegate which is to be executed on the new thread. But ThreadFunc has to be function with no params. So in the ThreadFunc one can only access class members and functions of the class, created the thread, but these are all shared between all threads, spawned by that class.

hope Im not missing something obvious...

Hi,

I never used GPrivate or GStaticPrivate myself, but reading from the documentation they are probably just missing from the glib-2.0.vapi binding.

Are there bindings for  GStaticPrivate, GPrivete  and the *_private_set/get functions?
I was searching through the glib-2.0.vapi and did not find any.

Are those unnecessary in vala? How can one create and use data, private for a thread?

Im a novice, sorry if the question is lame :/
