GLib.ThreadPool.push

### Method

# GLib ThreadPoolpush

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    g_thread_pool_push (
      GThreadPool* pool,
      gpointer data,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Inserts `data` into the list of tasks to be executed by `pool`.

When the number of currently running threads is lower than the maximal allowed number of threads, a new thread is started (or reused) with the properties given to g_thread_pool_new(). Otherwise, `data` stays in the queue until a thread in this pool finishes its previous task and processes `data`.

`error` can be `NULL` to ignore errors, or non-`NULL` to report errors. An error can only occur when a new thread couldn’t be created. In that case `data` is simply appended to the queue of work to do.

Before version 2.32, this function did not return a success status.

#### Parameters

`data`

  Type: `gpointer`

  A new task for `pool`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the method.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the method if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`TRUE` on success, `FALSE` if an error occurred.
