TaskManager and Task

[panxpress]

Hi,

I have a basic question regarding the TaskManager and the Task run by it. From the documentation, it looks like, after the task is completed, TaskManager deletes the Task. Is there a way that the TaskManager does not delete the Task after it is completed.

Thanks,

No. A Task will automatically notify the manager when runTask() completes and manager shall remove it from the list.

What you can do is:

* prevent it from completing by looping inside the runTask()

or

* give a duplicate to TaskManager~058~~058~start() to cause your task to outlive the run by manager and, after completion, start it again:

Code: Select all


TaskManager tm;
AutoPtr<SimpleTask> pTT = new SimpleTask;

tm.start(pTT.duplicate()); // send in duplicate
tm.joinAll(); // run to completion
tm.start(pTT.duplicate()); // start it again

Thanks a lot! I will give this a try. Still trying to get my hands wet with this. Poco looks to be very good.
