* @class Cgu::Thread::TaskManager task_manager.h c++-gtk-utils/task_manager.h
* @brief A thread-pool class for managing tasks in multi-threaded programs.
* @sa Cgu::Thread::Future Cgu::AsyncResult Cgu::AsyncQueueDispatch Cgu::AsyncChannel Cgu::Callback::post() Cgu::Thread::TaskManager::IncHandle Cgu::Thread::parallel_for_each() Cgu::Thread::parallel_for_each_partial() Cgu::Thread::parallel_transform() Cgu::Thread::parallel_transform_partial()
*
* Cgu::Thread::Future operates on the principle of there being one
* worker thread per task. In some cases however, it may be better to
* have a limited pool of worker threads executing a larger number of
* tasks. This class implements this approach via a thread pool.
*
* One common approach for thread pools of this kind is to set the
* maximum number of threads to the number of cores, or some number
* less than the number of cores, available on the local machine. How
* that can be determined is system specific (on linux it can be
* obtained by, for example, counting the 'processor' fields in
* /proc/cpuinfo or by using sysconf with the glibc extension for
* _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN). From version 2.36, glib has a
* g_get_num_processors() function. From gcc-4.7, C++11's
* std::thread::hardware_concurrency() static member function is also
* available.
*
* The most general way of creating a new task is to call
* TaskManager::add_task() with a callable object (such as a lambda
* expression or the return value of std::bind) which returns void,
* although add_task() will also take a Callback::Callback object.
* Where the task needs to provide a result, two approaches can be
* adopted. First, the task callback can have a Cgu::AsyncResult
* object held by Cgu::SharedLockPtr (or by std::shared_ptr having a
* thread safe reference count) bound to it, or it can execute a
* std::packaged_task object from which it can obtain a std::future
* object. Alternatively, a task can provide a result asynchronously
* to a glib main loop by calling Cgu::Callback::post() when it is
* ready to do so. The TaskManager::make_task_result(),
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged(), TaskManager::make_task_when(),
* TaskManager::make_task_when_full(),
* TaskManager::make_task_compose(),
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged_when() and
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged_compose() convenience wrapper
* methods are provided which will set this up for you (including
* constructing appropriate task callbacks). This would normally be
* done by passing one of those functions a callable object which
* returns a value, such as a lambda expression or the return value of
* std::bind. Tasks can add other tasks, enabling the composition of
* an arbitrary number of tasks to obtain a final result.
*
* Overloads of TaskManager::make_task_result(),
* TaskManager::make_task_when() and
* TaskManager::make_task_when_full() also exist which take a function
* pointer (or an object reference and member function pointer) to a
* function which returns a value, with bound arguments, but these are
* deprecated in the 2.2 series of the library as they offer little
* advantage over using std::bind. (Although deprecated, there is no
* plan to remove these functions as they are there and they work -
* the deprecation is in effect guidance.) These deprecated functions
* can take up to three bound arguments in the case of a non-static
* member function, and four bound arguments in the case of any other
* function. In the case of a non-static member function, the
* referenced object whose member function is to be called must remain
* in existence until the task has completed. The target function
* passed by pointer (or member function pointer) can take a reference
* to const argument, as a copy of the object to be passed to the
* argument is taken to avoid dangling references, but it cannot take
* a reference to non-const argument.
*
* Copying of the return value of the target function or callable
* object represented by the task may take place. When a task
* completes, the return value will be stored, either in a
* Cgu::AsyncResult object (if TaskManager::make_task_result() is
* called) or in the shared state of a std::packaged_task object (if
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged(),
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged_when() or
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged_compose() is called) or for the
* purposes of executing the 'when' callback in a glib main loop (if
* TaskManager::make_task_when(), TaskManager::make_task_when_full()
* or TaskManager::make_task_compose() are called). This storage will
* therefore cause the return value type's assignment operator or copy
* constructor to be called once unless that type has a move
* assignment operator or move constructor, in which case a move
* operation will be made where possible. Note that a 'when' callback
* takes the stored return value by reference and so without any
* additional copying upon the 'when' callback being executed in the
* main loop.
*
* TaskManager objects do not provide thread cancellation. Thread
* cancellation is incompatible with the task-centred thread pool
* model. If task cancellation is wanted, use a Cgu::Thread::Future
* (or Cgu::Thread::Thread or Cgu::Thread::JoinableHandle) object
* instead, and have a dedicated thread for the cancelable task.
*
* If glib < 2.32 is installed, g_thread_init() must be called before
* any TaskManager objects are constructed, which in turn means that
* with glib < 2.32 TaskManager objects may not be constructed as
* static objects in global namespace (that is, before g_thread_init()
* has been called in the program).
*
* Any exceptions which propagate from a task will be consumed to
* protect the TaskManager object, and to detect whether this has
* happened there is a version of the TaskManager::add_task() method
* which takes a second argument comprising a 'fail' callback. If an
* exception propagates from the 'fail' callback that is also consumed
* and a g_critical() message issued.
* TaskManager::make_task_when_full() also provides for a 'fail'
* callback. TaskManager::make_task_packaged(),
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged_when() and
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged_compose() instead store an
* exception thrown by a task in the shared state of a
* std::packaged_task object, so that it is assessible from the
* associated std::future object.
*
* Tasks can be aborted by throwing Cgu::Thread::Exit (as well as any
* other exception). Where a task is managed by a TaskManager object,
* throwing Cgu::Thread::Exit will only terminate the task and not the
* thread on which it is running (and will cause the 'fail' callback
* to be executed, if there is one).
*
* Any 'fail' callback passed to TaskManager::add_task() or
* TaskManager::make_task_when_full() must be fully bound. Whilst a
* task can pass error status to the 'fail' callback via shared data
* bound to both the task and the 'fail' callback (held by, say, a
* SharedLockPtr object), or a global error stack, 'fail' callbacks
* are generally best reserved for use with entirely unexpected
* exceptions, where the most reasonable course is to perform some
* orderly logging and shutdown. For handlable exceptions, in an
* asynchronous environment the best course is often to catch them and
* deal with them in the task itself and (where
* TaskManager::make_task_when_full(), TaskManager::make_task_when()
* or TaskManager::make_task_compose() is employed) return a value of
* the task function's return type indicating no result.
* Alternatively, as mentioned above,
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged(),
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged_when() and
* TaskManager::make_task_packaged_compose() store an exception thrown
* by a task in the shared state of a std::packaged_task object
*
* TaskManager objects have no copy constructor or copy assignment
* operator, as copying them would have no obvious semantic meaning.
* Whilst swapping or moving TaskManager objects would be meaningful,
* this is not implemented either because it would require an
* additional internal lock to be thread safe, and the circumstances
* in which moving or swapping would be useful are limited. Where a
* move option is wanted, a TaskManager object can be constructed on
* free store and held by std::unique_ptr.
*
* Here is a compilable example of the calculator class referred to in
* the documentation on the AsyncResult but which uses a TaskManager
* object so that the calculator class can run more than one thread to
* service its calculations, using TaskManager::make_task_result():
*
* @code
* #include <vector>
* #include <numeric>
* #include <ostream>
* #include <iostream>
*
* #include <glib.h>
*
* #include <c++-gtk-utils/task_manager.h>
* #include <c++-gtk-utils/async_result.h>
* #include <c++-gtk-utils/shared_ptr.h>
*
* using namespace Cgu;
*
* class Calcs {
* Thread::TaskManager tm;
* public:
* SharedLockPtr<AsyncResult<double>> mean(const std::vector<double>& nums) {
* return tm.make_task_result([=]() -> double {
* if (nums.empty()) return 0.0;
* return std::accumulate(nums.begin(), nums.end(), 0.0)/nums.size();
* });
* }
*
* // ... other calculation methods here
* };
*
* int main () {
*
* g_thread_init(0);
* Calcs calcs;
* auto res1 = calcs.mean({1, 2, 8, 0});
* auto res2 = calcs.mean({101, 53.7, 87, 1.2});
*
* // ... do something else
* std::cout << res1->get() << std::endl;
* std::cout << res2->get() << std::endl;
*
* }
* @endcode
*
* The same could be done using TaskManager::make_task_packaged() as follows:
*
* @code
* #include <vector>
* #include <numeric>
* #include <ostream>
* #include <iostream>
* #include <future>
*
* #include <glib.h>
*
* #include <c++-gtk-utils/task_manager.h>
* #include <c++-gtk-utils/async_result.h>
* #include <c++-gtk-utils/shared_ptr.h>
*
* using namespace Cgu;
*
* class Calcs {
* Thread::TaskManager tm;
* public:
* std::future<double> mean(const std::vector<double>& nums) {
* return tm.make_task_packaged([=]() -> double {
* if (nums.empty()) return 0.0;
* return std::accumulate(nums.begin(), nums.end(), 0.0)/nums.size();
* });
* }
*
* // ... other calculation methods here
* };
*
* int main () {
*
* g_thread_init(0);
* Calcs calcs;
* auto res1 = calcs.mean({1, 2, 8, 0});
* auto res2 = calcs.mean({101, 53.7, 87, 1.2});
*
* // ... do something else
* std::cout << res1.get() << std::endl;
* std::cout << res2.get() << std::endl;
*
* }
* @endcode
*
* Here is a reimplementation, using TaskManager::make_task_when(), of
* the example using a get_primes() function given in the
* documentation for Cgu::Thread::Future:
* @code
* std::vector<long> get_primes(int n); // calculates the first n primes
*
* // get the first 1,000 primes
* using namespace Cgu;
*
* Thread::TaskManager tm;
* tm.make_task_when([] (const std::vector<long>& result) {
* for (const auto& elt: result) {std::cout << elt << std::endl;}
* },
* 0, // default main loop context
* [] () {return get_primes(1000);});
* @endcode
*
* Where a task running on a TaskManager object is to block, the
* TaskManager::IncHandle scoped handle class can be used to increment
* the maximum number of threads running on the object's thread pool
* temporarily while blocking takes place, so as to enable another
* thread to keep a core active. This can be useful where a task is
* to 'join' on another task when composing tasks: and it is usually
* essential to increment the maximum thread count temporarily where a
* task is to block on one of its sub-tasks, to avoid any possibility
* of deadlock through thread starvation (thread starvation occurs
* where all threads on a thread pool are occupied by tasks blocking
* on sub-tasks which have still to run on the thread pool, and which
* cannot run because the maximum thread count has been reached).
* Here is a compilable example:
*
* @code
* #include <iostream>
* #include <ostream>
*
* #include <glib.h>
*
* #include <c++-gtk-utils/task_manager.h>
*
* using namespace Cgu;
*
* // simulate a blocking operation, say from a server, with g_usleep()
* int mult(int x, int y) {
* g_usleep(100000);
* return x * y;
* }
*
* int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
*
* g_thread_init(0);
* Thread::TaskManager tm{1}; // only one thread available unless blocking!
* GMainLoop* loop = g_main_loop_new(0, true);
*
* tm.make_task_when(
* [loop] (const int& res) {
* std::cout << res << std::endl;
* g_main_loop_quit(loop);
* },
* 0, // default main loop
* [&tm] () -> int {
* // this task multiplies 'a' by 2 and 'b' by 3, and adds the products
* int a = 10;
* int b = 12;
*
* // increment maximum thread count before launching sub-task and
* // then blocking
* Thread::TaskManager::IncHandle h{tm};
* // start a sub-task
* auto sub = tm.make_task_result([a, &tm] () -> int {
* // increment maximum thread count again before blocking in
* // this task (pretend that some other task in the program
* // may also want to run while both the parent task and this
* // task block on mult())
* Thread::TaskManager::IncHandle h{tm};
* return mult(a, 2);
* });
*
* int res = mult(b, 3)
* return sub->get() + res;
* }
* );
*
* g_main_loop_run(loop);
* }
* @endcode
*
* An alternative to using TaskManager::IncHandle for sub-tasks is to
* run the sub-tasks on their own threads via Thread::Future or
* std::async().
*
* Rate limiting
* -------------
*
* Resources are not infinite and there is a hard limit to the number
* of tasks that a TaskManager object may have queued for execution at
* any one time. From version 2.2.14 the limit to the number of
* running and queued tasks may be obtained by calling the
* TaskManager::get_max_tasks() method (note that particularly on
* 32-bit systems it will in practice be impossible to reach this
* limit because of memory exhaustion: the value returned by that
* method represents the limit enforced by TaskManager irrespective of
* the actual available memory at the system or process level and any
* intervention of std::bad_alloc exceptions). If that limit is
* exceeded, the TaskManager::add_task() and TaskManager::make_task_*
* methods will throw std::length_error.
*
* In practice however, on most systems such a large number of queued
* tasks (normally around 4,294,967,295 for 64-bit systems) is likely
* to be unfeasible and program logic constraints will be exceeded
* long before the limit is reached, even if available memory is not.
* In some usages therefore, some form of rate limiting may be needed
* to prevent a work-producing thread overwhelming a TaskManager
* object by continuously adding more tasks for execution than the
* object's throughput capacity is capable of dealing with, so pushing
* the number of unexecuted tasks to an excessive level.
*
* TaskManager objects provide no built-in rate limiting (other than
* throwing the std::length_error exception referred to above). This
* is because there is no one-size-fits-all way of doing so. One
* common approach is to apply throttling to threads which add tasks
* by enforcing a wait in their thread of execution when the level of
* queued tasks reaches too high a level, so hindering their ability
* to add new ones. However this is counter productive where it is a
* task running on the TaskManager object which is adding the new
* tasks, particularly with a TaskManager object having only a few
* threads running in its pool. Another approach is to throw an
* exception when adding tasks which exceed a user-selectable level
* which is much lower than the value returned by
* TaskManager::get_max_tasks(), but this would make it more difficult
* to use the Cgu::Thread::parallel_for_each() and
* Cgu::Thread::parallel_transform() functions provided by this
* library.
*
* The best approach is for user code to provide its own rate limiting
* in cases where the way that that code is organised means that it
* could produce an excessive number of accumulating unexecuted tasks,
* possibly by applying delays when unexecuted tasks rise in number
* excessively, using timeouts with a glib main loop. This may be
* checked for by having code call the TaskManager::get_tasks() method
* before adding a significant batch of new tasks in order to test
* queue size, and if necessary postpone adding the new tasks until
* the size of the already accumulated tasks has reduced.
*
* The Cgu::AsyncChannel class has emplace() and push() methods which
* will block when a channel is full. That class can therefore be
* used for rate limiting function objects pushed onto the channel in
* cases where that is an appropriate alternative solution to
* TaskManager.

* by calling add_task() with an appropriate callback object, and
* causes the 'when' callback passed as an argument to this method to

* task' model, this method therefore provides a similar interface to
* the one provided by Cgu::Thread::Future. See the documentation on

*
* This method can take up to three bound arguments for the target

*
* Note that unlike add_task(), but like the 'fail' callback of
* Cgu::Thread::Future objects, if a fail callback is provided to
* this method and it executes, it will execute in the glib main loop
* whose GMainContext object is passed to the 'context' argument of
* this method.
*
* Note also that if releasers are provided for the 'when' or 'fail'
* callbacks, these are passed by pointer and not by reference (this
* is so that a NULL pointer can indicate that no releaser is to be
* provided). If provided, a releaser will enable automatic
* disconnection of the 'when' or 'fail' callback, if the object
* having the callback function as a member is destroyed. For this to
* be race free, the lifetime of that object must be controlled by
* the thread in whose main loop the 'when' or 'fail' callback will
* execute.
*
* The make_task_when() method is similar to this method but provides
* an abbreviated set of paramaters suitable for most cases. This
* method is for use where releasers or a 'fail' callback are
* required.
*
* @param when A callback which will be executed if and when the
* function passed to this method finishes correctly. The callback is
* passed that function's return value when it is invoked. If an
* exception propagates from the 'when' callback, this will be
* consumed and a g_critical() warning will be issued. The callback
* will execute in the glib main loop whose GMainContext object is
* passed to the 'context' argument of this method.
* @param when_releaser A pointer to a Releaser object for automatic
* disconnection of the 'when' callback before it executes in a main
* loop (mainly relevant if the callback represents a non-static
* member function of an object which may be destroyed before the
* callback executes). A value of 0/NULL/nullptr indicates no
* releaser.
* @param fail A callback which will be executed if the 'when'
* callback does not execute. This would happen if the function
* passed to this method exits by throwing Thread::Exit or some other
* exception, if the copy constructor of a non-reference argument of
* that function throws, if the move constructor (or if it has none,
* the copy constructor) of that function's return value throws or if
* the 'when' callback does not execute because the internal
* implementation of this wrapper throws std::bad_alloc (which will
* not happen if the library has been installed using the
* \--with-glib-memory-slices-no-compat configuration option: instead
* glib will terminate the program if it is unable to obtain memory
* from the operating system). If an exception propagates from the
* 'fail' callback, this will be consumed and a g_critical() warning
* will be issued. The callback will execute in the glib main loop
* whose GMainContext object is passed to the 'context' argument of
* this method. An empty std::unique_ptr object indicates no 'fail'
* callback.
* @param fail_releaser A pointer to a Releaser object for automatic

* @param fail A callback which will be executed if the 'when'
* callback does not execute. This would happen if the function
* passed to this method exits by throwing Thread::Exit or some other
* exception, if the copy constructor of a non-reference argument of
* that function throws, if the move constructor (or if it has none,
* the copy constructor) of that function's return value throws or if
* the 'when' callback does not execute because the internal
* implementation of this wrapper throws std::bad_alloc (which will
* not happen if the library has been installed using the
* \--with-glib-memory-slices-no-compat configuration option: instead
* glib will terminate the program if it is unable to obtain memory
* from the operating system). If an exception propagates from the
* 'fail' callback, this will be consumed and a g_critical() warning
* will be issued. The callback will execute in the glib main loop
* whose GMainContext object is passed to the 'context' argument of
* this method. An empty std::unique_ptr object indicates no 'fail'
* callback.
* @param fail_releaser A pointer to a Releaser object for automatic
* disconnection of the 'fail' callback before it executes in a main
* loop (mainly relevant if the callback represents a non-static
* member function of an object which may be destroyed before the
* callback executes). A value of 0/NULL/nullptr indicates no
* releaser.
* @param priority The priority to be given in the main loop to the
* 'when' callback or any 'fail' callback. In ascending order of
* priorities, priorities are G_PRIORITY_LOW,
* G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE, G_PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE, G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT
* and G_PRIORITY_HIGH. This determines the order in which the
* callback will appear in the event list in the main loop, not the
* priority which the OS will adopt.
* @param context The glib main context of the main loop in which the
* 'when' callback or any 'fail' callback is to be executed. A value
* 0/NULL/nullptr will cause the callback to be executed in the main
* program loop.
* @param func The function to be executed as a task. If an
* exception propagates from the task, the exception will be consumed
* and the 'fail' callback will execute.
* @param args The arguments to be passed to that function.
* @exception std::bad_alloc This exception will be thrown if memory
* is exhausted and the system throws in that case. (On systems with
* over-commit/lazy-commit combined with virtual memory (swap), it is
* rarely useful to check for memory exhaustion). See also the
* documentation for the get_max_tasks() method about the possibility
* of std::length_error being thrown. If std::bad_alloc or
* std::length_error is thrown, the task will not start (which also
* means that the 'when' and 'fail' callbacks will not execute).
* @exception Cgu::Thread::TaskError This exception will be thrown if
* stop_all() has previously been called. It will also be thrown if
* the call to add_task() made by this method tries but fails to
* start a new thread, or if is_error() would return true because
* this class's internal thread pool loop implementation has thrown
* std::bad_alloc or a thread has previously failed to start
* correctly. If this exception is thrown, the task will not start
* (which also means that the 'when' and 'fail' callbacks will not
* execute).
* @note 1. This method will also throw if the copy or move
* constructor of a bound argument throws. If such an exception is
* thrown, the task will not start (which also means that the 'when'
* and 'fail' callbacks will not execute).
* @note 2. If a 'when_releaser' or a 'fail_releaser' object is
* provided, it is in theory possible (if memory is exhausted and the
* system throws in that case) that an internal SafeEmitterArg object
* will throw std::bad_alloc when emitting/executing the 'when' or
* 'fail' callback in the glib main loop, with the result that the
* relevant callback will not execute (instead the exception will be
* consumed and a g_critical() warning will be issued). This is
* rarely of any relevance because glib will abort the program if it
* is itself unable to obtain memory from the operating system.
* However, where it is relevant, design the program so that it is
* not necessary to provide a releaser object.

*
* DEPRECATED. Use the versions of make_task_when() which take
* callable objects.
*
* This is an abbreviated version of make_task_when_full(), which is
* for use when it is known that invocation of the function passed to
* this method, the copy constructors of any non-reference arguments
* of that function and the move constructor (or if it has none, the
* copy constructor) of that function's return value do not throw
* anything other than std::bad_alloc, and the user is not interested

* 'when' callback (which is likely to cover the majority of uses,
* particularly when composing tasks using glib because glib
* terminates the program if it is unable to obtain memory).
*
* This method can take up to four bound arguments for the target
* function.
*
* Like make_task_when_full(), this method is a wrapper which takes a
* pointer to a function which returns a value, together with
* arguments, and constructs a TaskManager task which will execute
* that function by calling add_task() with an appropriate callback
* object, and causes the 'when' callback passed as an argument to
* this method to be executed by a glib main loop if and when the
* task finishes correctly - the 'when' callback is passed the
* function's return value when it is invoked. It is thread safe
* (any thread may call this method, including another task running
* on the TaskManager object). Apart from the absence of a 'one
* thread per task' model, this method therefore provides a similar
* interface to the one provided by Cgu::Thread::Future. See the
* documentation on add_task() for further information about how task
* execution works.
*
* The 'when' callback will execute with G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT priority
* in the main loop.
*
* @param when A callback which will be executed if and when the
* function passed to this method finishes correctly. The callback is
* passed that function's return value when it is invoked. If an
* exception propagates from the 'when' callback, this will be
* consumed and a g_critical() warning will be issued. The callback
* will execute in the glib main loop whose GMainContext object is
* passed to the 'context' argument of this method.
* @param context The glib main context of the main loop in which the
* 'when' callback is to be executed. A value 0/NULL/nullptr will
* cause the callback to be executed in the main program loop.
* @param func The function to be executed as a task. If an
* exception propagates from the task, the exception will be consumed
* and (if the thrown object's type is not Cgu::Thread::Exit) a
* g_critical() warning will be issued.
* @param args The arguments to be passed to that function.
* @exception std::bad_alloc This exception will be thrown if memory
* is exhausted and the system throws in that case. (On systems with

* of std::length_error being thrown. If std::bad_alloc or
* std::length_error is thrown, the task will not start (which also
* means that the 'when' callback will not execute).
* @exception Cgu::Thread::TaskError This exception will be thrown if
* stop_all() has previously been called. It will also be thrown if
* the call to add_task() made by this method tries but fails to
* start a new thread, or if is_error() would return true because

* It is thread safe: any thread may call this method, including

* works.
*
* If the callable object passed to this method exits by throwing an

*
* One of the (perhaps odd) side effects of the specification of
* std::async() in C++11/14 is that the question whether a
* std::future object's destructor blocks until completion of its
* associated task depends on whether it was constructed by a call to

* destructor will not block. If the returned std::future object is
* allowed to go out of scope before the task completes and without
* moving to another std::future object, the task will run to
* completion (unless it throws a prior exception), but its return
* value will be discarded.

* expression or the result of std::bind, to be executed via

* This method is similar to make_task_when_full(): it takes a
* callable object as its 'func' argument (such as a std::function
* object, a lambda or the return value of std::bind), and constructs
* a TaskManager task which will execute that object by calling
* add_task() with an appropriate callback object, and causes the
* 'when' callback passed as an argument to this method to be
* executed by a glib main loop when the task finishes. However,
* unlike make_task_when_full(), it constructs a std::packaged_task
* object to execute the task, and instead of passing the return
* value of 'func' directly as an argument to the 'when' callback, it
* passes a non-const reference to a std::future object of the return
* type: so if 'func' returns a std::string object, the 'when'
* callback should take a 'std::future<std::string>&' argument. The
* main purpose of this is to store any exception thrown by 'func'
* (or by the move or copy constructor of its return value) in the
* std::packaged_task object's shared state, so that it can be
* obtained by the 'when' callback by calling std::future::get(). In
* addition, subject to note 3 below this method's task wrapper will
* never be in the position of consuming an internal std::bad_alloc
* exception (although this method might throw std::bad_alloc).
* Amongst other things, this dispenses with the need for a 'fail'
* callback (at a very slight cost to efficiency compared with
* make_task_when_full()).
*
* The callable object comprising the 'func' argument may return
* void, if the purpose of the 'when' callback is only to deal in the
* glib main loop with any exception thrown by 'func', or to do
* something in the glib main loop dependent on the task having
* finished but not on a value returned by it.
*
* A call to std::future::get() on the passed std::future object will
* never block, because the 'when' callback is only invoked after the
* task has finished (successfully or by throwing an exception).
*
* This method is thread safe (any thread may call it, including
* another task running on the TaskManager object). See the
* documentation on add_task() for further information about how task
* execution works.
*
* Note that if a releaser is provided for the 'when' callback, this
* is passed by pointer and not by reference (this is so that a NULL
* pointer can indicate that no releaser is to be provided). If
* provided, a releaser will enable automatic disconnection of the
* 'when' callback if the object of which the releaser is a member is
* destroyed. For this to be race free, the lifetime of that object
* must be controlled by the thread in whose main loop the 'when'
* callback will execute.
*
* There is an overload of this method which takes only three
* arguments - the 'when' callback, a context argument and the
* callable object to be run as a task, which is analogous to
* make_task_when(). It is shorthand for cases where the 'when'
* callback is to be executed without a releaser and with
* G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT priority.
*
* @param when A callable object (such as formed by a lambda
* expression or the result of std::bind) which will be executed when
* the 'func' object passed to this method finishes, either by
* executing normally or by throwing an exception. The 'when'
* callback should take a single unbound argument, namely a non-const
* reference to a std::future object for the type of the return value
* of the 'func' object. If an exception propagates from the 'when'
* callback, this will be consumed and a g_critical() warning will be
* issued. The callback will execute in the glib main loop whose
* GMainContext object is passed to the 'context' argument of this
* method.
* @param when_releaser A pointer to a Releaser object for automatic
* disconnection of the 'when' callback before it executes in a main
* loop (mainly relevant if the callback calls a non-static member
* function of an object which may be destroyed before the callback
* executes). A value of 0/NULL/nullptr indicates no releaser.
* @param priority The priority to be given in the main loop to the
* 'when' callback. In ascending order of priorities, priorities are
* G_PRIORITY_LOW, G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE, G_PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE,
* G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT and G_PRIORITY_HIGH. This determines the order
* in which the callback will appear in the event list in the main
* loop, not the priority which the OS will adopt.
* @param context The glib main context of the main loop in which the
* 'when' callback is to be executed. A value 0/NULL/nullptr will
* cause the callback to be executed in the main program loop.
* @param func The callable object to be executed as a task, such as
* formed by a lambda expression or the result of std::bind. It must
* be fully bound (that is, it must take no arguments when called).
* If an exception propagates from the task, the exception will be
* stored in the shared state of a std::packaged_task object and made
* available to the 'when' callback via std::future::get().
* @exception std::bad_alloc This exception will be thrown if memory
* is exhausted and the system throws in that case. (On systems with
* over-commit/lazy-commit combined with virtual memory (swap), it is
* rarely useful to check for memory exhaustion). See also the
* documentation for the get_max_tasks() method about the possibility
* of std::length_error being thrown. If std::bad_alloc or
* std::length_error is thrown, the task will not start (which also
* means that the 'when' callback will not execute).
* @exception Cgu::Thread::TaskError This exception will be thrown if
* stop_all() has previously been called. It will also be thrown if
* the call to add_task() made by this method tries but fails to
* start a new thread, or if is_error() would return true because
* this class's internal thread pool loop implementation has thrown
* std::bad_alloc or a thread has previously failed to start
* correctly. If this exception is thrown, the task will not start
* (which also means that the 'when' callback will not execute).
* @note 1. This method will also throw if the copy or move
* constructor of the 'func' or 'when' callable objects throws. If
* such an exception is thrown, the task will not start (which also
* means that the 'when' callback will not execute).
* @note 2. If any of the callable objects passed to this method have
* both const and non-const operator()() methods, the non-const
* version will be called even if the callable object passed is a
* const object.
* @note 3. If a 'when_releaser' object is provided, it is in theory
* possible (if memory is exhausted and the system throws in that
* case) that an internal SafeEmitterArg object will throw
* std::bad_alloc when emitting/executing the 'when' callback in the
* glib main loop, with the result that the relevant callback will
* not execute (instead the exception will be consumed and a
* g_critical() warning will be issued). This is rarely of any
* relevance because glib will abort the program if it is itself
* unable to obtain memory from the operating system. However, where
* it is relevant, design the program so that it is not necessary to
* provide a releaser object.
