ecore_job - Queuing tasks

This example shows how an Ecore_Job can be added, how it can be deleted, and that they always execute in the added order.

First, 2 callback functions are declared, one that prints strings passed to it in the data pointer, and another one that quits the main loop. In the main function, 3 jobs are added using the first callback, and another one is added using the second one.

Then the second added job is deleted just to demonstrate the usage of ecore_job_del(), and the main loop is finally started. Run this example to see that job1, job3 and job_quit are ran, in this order.

//Compile with:
// gcc -o ecore_job_example ecore_job_example.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags ecore`

#include <Ecore.h>
#include <unistd.h>

}

   if (!ecore_init())
     {
        printf("ERROR: Cannot init Ecore!\n");
        return -1;
     }

   job1 = ecore_job_add(_job_print_cb, str1);
   job2 = ecore_job_add(_job_print_cb, str2);
   job3 = ecore_job_add(_job_print_cb, str3);

   job_quit = ecore_job_add(_job_quit_cb, NULL);

   (void)job1;
   (void)job3;
   (void)job_quit;

   printf("Created jobs 1, 2, 3 and quit.\n");

   if (job2)
     {
        char *str;
        str = ecore_job_del(job2);
        job2 = NULL;

     }
