<p>
The purpose of the <a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html" title="GdaThreadWrapper"><span class="type">GdaThreadWrapper</span></a> object is to execute functions in an isolated sub thread. As the
<a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html" title="GdaThreadWrapper"><span class="type">GdaThreadWrapper</span></a> is thread safe, one is able to isolate some code's execution is a <span class="emphasis"><em>private</em></span>
<span class="emphasis"><em>worker</em></span> thread, and make a non thread safe code thread safe.
</p>
<p>
The downside of this is that the actual execution of the code will be slower as it requires
threads to be synchronized.
</p>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html" title="GdaThreadWrapper"><span class="type">GdaThreadWrapper</span></a> implements its own locking mechanism and can safely be used from multiple
threads at once without needing further locking.
</p>
<p>
Each thread using a <a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html" title="GdaThreadWrapper"><span class="type">GdaThreadWrapper</span></a> object can use it as if it was the only user: the <a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html" title="GdaThreadWrapper"><span class="type">GdaThreadWrapper</span></a> will
simply dispatch all the execution requests to its private <span class="emphasis"><em>worker</em></span> thread and report the
execution's status only to the thread which made the request.
</p>
<p>
The user can also specify a callback function to be called when an object exmits a signal while being
used by the worker thread, see the <a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html#gda-thread-wrapper-connect-raw" title="gda_thread_wrapper_connect_raw ()"><code class="function">gda_thread_wrapper_connect_raw()</code></a> method.
</p>
<p>
The following diagram illustrates the conceptual working of the <a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html" title="GdaThreadWrapper"><span class="type">GdaThreadWrapper</span></a> object: here two user threads
are represented (assigned a red and green colors), both using a single <a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html" title="GdaThreadWrapper"><span class="type">GdaThreadWrapper</span></a>, so in this diagram, 3 threads
are present. The communication between the threads are handled by some <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Asynchronous-Queues.html#GAsyncQueue"><span class="type">GAsyncQueue</span></a> objects (in a transparent way for
the user, presented here only for illustration purposes). The queue represented in yellow is where jobs are
pushed by each user thread (step 1), and popped by the worker thread (step 2). Once the user thread has finished
with a job, it stores the result along with the job and pushes it to the queue dedicated to the user thread
(step 3) in this example the red queue (because the job was issued from the thread represented in red). The last
step is when the user fetches the result (in its user thread), step 4.
</p>
<p>
If, when the worker thread is busy with a job, a signal is emitted, and if the user has set up a signal handler
using <a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html#gda-thread-wrapper-connect-raw" title="gda_thread_wrapper_connect_raw ()"><code class="function">gda_thread_wrapper_connect_raw()</code></a>,
then a "job as signal" is created by the worker thread and pushed to the user thread as illustrated
at the bottom of the diagram.

Connects a callback function to a signal for a particular object. The difference with <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-Signals.html#g-signal-connect"><code class="function">g_signal_connect()</code></a> and
similar functions are:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem"><p>the <em class="parameter"><code>callback</code></em> argument is not a <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-Closures.html#GCallback"><span class="type">GCallback</span></a> function, so the callback signature is not
dependent on the signal itself</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>the signal handler must not have to return any value</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>the <em class="parameter"><code>callback</code></em> function will be called asynchronously, the caller may need to use
<a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html#gda-thread-wrapper-iterate" title="gda_thread_wrapper_iterate ()"><code class="function">gda_thread_wrapper_iterate()</code></a> to get the notification</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>if <em class="parameter"><code>private_job</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>private_thread</code></em> control in which case the signal is propagated.</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Also note that signal handling is done asynchronously: when emitted in the worker thread, it
will be "queued" to be processed in the user thread when it has the chance (when <code class="function">gda_thread_wrapper()</code>
is called directly or indirectly). The side effect is that the callback function is usually
called long after the object emitting the signal has finished emitting it.
</p>
<p>
To disconnect a signal handler, don't use any of the g_signal_handler_*() functions but the
<a class="link" href="GdaThreadWrapper.html#gda-thread-wrapper-disconnect" title="gda_thread_wrapper_disconnect ()"><code class="function">gda_thread_wrapper_disconnect()</code></a> method.
