Detailed Description

An API for managing task processing threads that can be shared across modules.

Author:
Dwayne M. Hubbard <dhubbard@digium.com>
Note:
A taskprocessor is a named singleton containing a processing thread and a task queue that serializes tasks pushed into it by [a] module(s) that reference the taskprocessor. A taskprocessor is created the first time its name is requested via the ast_taskprocessor_get() function and destroyed when the taskprocessor reference count reaches zero.
Modules that obtain a reference to a taskprocessor can queue tasks into the taskprocessor to be processed by the singleton processing thread when the task is popped off the front of the queue. A task is a wrapper around a task-handling function pointer and a data pointer. It is the responsibility of the task handling function to free memory allocated for the task data pointer. A task is pushed into a taskprocessor queue using the ast_taskprocessor_push(taskprocessor, taskhandler, taskdata) function and freed by the taskprocessor after the task handling function returns. A module releases its reference to a taskprocessor using the ast_taskprocessor_unreference() function which may result in the destruction of the taskprocessor if the taskprocessor's reference count reaches zero. Tasks waiting to be processed in the taskprocessor queue when the taskprocessor reference count reaches zero will be purged and released from the taskprocessor queue without being processed.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum ast_tps_options

ast_tps_options for specification of taskprocessor options

Specify whether a taskprocessor should be created via ast_taskprocessor_get() if the taskprocessor does not already exist. The default behavior is to create a taskprocessor if it does not already exist and provide its reference to the calling function. To only return a reference to a taskprocessor if and only if it exists, use the TPS_REF_IF_EXISTS option in ast_taskprocessor_get().

Enumerator:
TPS_REF_DEFAULT  return a reference to a taskprocessor, create one if it does not exist
TPS_REF_IF_EXISTS  return a reference to a taskprocessor ONLY if it already exists

Definition at line 56 of file taskprocessor.h.

00057    /*! \brief return a reference to a taskprocessor, create one if it does not exist */
00058    TPS_REF_DEFAULT = 0,
00059    /*! \brief return a reference to a taskprocessor ONLY if it already exists */

Function Documentation

struct ast_taskprocessor* ast_taskprocessor_get ( const char *  name,
enum ast_tps_options  create 
)

Get a reference to a taskprocessor with the specified name and create the taskprocessor if necessary.

The default behavior of instantiating a taskprocessor if one does not already exist can be disabled by specifying the TPS_REF_IF_EXISTS ast_tps_options as the second argument to ast_taskprocessor_get().

Parameters:
name The name of the taskprocessor
create Use 0 by default or specify TPS_REF_IF_EXISTS to return NULL if the taskprocessor does not already exist return A pointer to a reference counted taskprocessor under normal conditions, or NULL if the TPS_REF_IF_EXISTS reference type is specified and the taskprocessor does not exist
