Thanks for the code. I'll try it out. I think the pool code in glib works similar, except that it uses an asynchronous queue. However back to my code: pool = g_thread_pool_new( my_calc, (gpointer) &common, 8, FALSE, &err ); for (i = 0; i < n_tot; i++ ) g_thread_pool_push( pool, &store[i], &err ); g_thread_pool_free( pool, FALSE, TRUE ); Why doesn't the g_thread_pool_free function stop and wait for all threads. I really specify this to wait (the third parameter is wait_ and set TRUE). In my understanding this must then be a bug in glib. Should I fill in a bug report? -Øystein _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
