[−][src]Module azul_core::task

Async (task, thread, timer) helper functions

Structs

DropCheck	Simple struct that is used by Azul internally to determine when the thread has finished executing. When this struct goes out of scope, Azul will call `.join()` on the thread (so in order to not block the main thread, simply let it go out of scope naturally.
Task	A `Task` is a seperate thread that is owned by the framework.
Thread	A `Thread` is a simple abstraction over `std::thread` that allows to offload a pure function to a different thread (essentially emulating async / await for older compilers).
Timer	A `Timer` is a function that is run on every frame.
TimerId	ID for uniquely identifying a timer

BlockError	Error that can happen while calling `.block()`
TerminateTimer	Should a timer terminate or not - used to remove active timers

clean_up_finished_tasks	Remove all tasks that have finished executing
run_all_timers	Run all currently registered timers
