Detailed Description

PipeWire threaded loop object.

The threaded loop object runs a pw_loop in a separate thread and ensures proper locking is done.

All of the loop callbacks will be executed with the loop lock held.

Member Function Documentation

pw_thread_loop_accept()

SPA_EXPORT void pw_thread_loop_accept

(

struct pw_thread_loop *

loop

)

Signal the loop thread waiting for accept with pw_thread_loop_signal()

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop to signal

pw_thread_loop_destroy()

SPA_EXPORT void pw_thread_loop_destroy

(

struct pw_thread_loop *

loop

)

Destroy a threaded loop.

References pw_loop_destroy_source, pw_thread_loop_events_destroy, and pw_thread_loop_stop().

pw_thread_loop_in_thread()

SPA_EXPORT bool pw_thread_loop_in_thread

(

struct pw_thread_loop *

loop

)

Check if we are inside the thread of the loop.

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop to signal

Returns

true when called inside the thread of loop.

pw_thread_loop_lock()

SPA_EXPORT void pw_thread_loop_lock

(

struct pw_thread_loop *

loop

)

Lock the mutex associated with loop.

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop

References pw_log::pw_log_trace.

pw_thread_loop_new()

SPA_EXPORT struct pw_thread_loop * pw_thread_loop_new	(	struct pw_loop *	loop,
		const char *	name
	)

Create a new pw_thread_loop.

Parameters

loop	the loop to wrap
name	the name of the thread or NULL

Returns

a newly allocated pw_thread_loop

Make a new pw_thread_loop that will run loop in a thread with name.

After this function you should probably call pw_thread_loop_start() to actually start the thread

References CHECK, pw_log::pw_log_debug, and pw_loop_add_event.

pw_thread_loop_signal()

SPA_EXPORT void pw_thread_loop_signal	(	struct pw_thread_loop *	loop,
		bool	wait_for_accept
	)

Signal the thread.

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop to signal
wait_for_accept	if we need to wait for accept

Signal the thread of loop. If wait_for_accept is true, this function waits until pw_thread_loop_accept() is called.

References pw_log::pw_log_trace.

pw_thread_loop_start()

SPA_EXPORT int pw_thread_loop_start

(

struct pw_thread_loop *

loop

)

Start the thread to handle loop.

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop

Returns

0 on success

pw_thread_loop_stop()

SPA_EXPORT void pw_thread_loop_stop

(

struct pw_thread_loop *

loop

)

Quit the loop and stop its thread.

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop

References pw_log::pw_log_debug, and pw_loop_signal_event.

pw_thread_loop_timed_wait()

SPA_EXPORT int pw_thread_loop_timed_wait	(	struct pw_thread_loop *	loop,
		int	wait_max_sec
	)

Wait for the loop thread to call pw_thread_loop_signal() or time out.

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop to signal
wait_max_sec	the maximum number of seconds to wait for a pw_thread_loop_signal()

Returns

0 on success or ETIMEDOUT on timeout

pw_thread_loop_unlock()

SPA_EXPORT void pw_thread_loop_unlock

(

struct pw_thread_loop *

loop

)

Unlock the mutex associated with loop.

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop

References pw_log::pw_log_trace.

pw_thread_loop_wait()

SPA_EXPORT void pw_thread_loop_wait

(

struct pw_thread_loop *

loop

)

Wait for the loop thread to call pw_thread_loop_signal()

Parameters

loop	a pw_thread_loop to signal
