97 * @function dispatch_queue_create_with_target
100 * Creates a new dispatch queue with a specified target queue.
103 * Dispatch queues created with the DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL or a NULL attribute
104 * invoke blocks serially in FIFO order.
106 * Dispatch queues created with the DISPATCH_QUEUE_CONCURRENT attribute may
107 * invoke blocks concurrently (similarly to the global concurrent queues, but
108 * potentially with more overhead), and support barrier blocks submitted with
109 * the dispatch barrier API, which e.g. enables the implementation of efficient
110 * reader-writer schemes.
112 * When a dispatch queue is no longer needed, it should be released with
113 * dispatch_release(). Note that any pending blocks submitted to a queue will
114 * hold a reference to that queue. Therefore a queue will not be deallocated
115 * until all pending blocks have finished.

141 * @function dispatch_pthread_root_queue_create
144 * Creates a new concurrent dispatch root queue with a pthread-based pool of
145 * worker threads owned by the application.
148 * Dispatch pthread root queues are similar to the global concurrent dispatch
149 * queues in that they invoke blocks concurrently, however the blocks are not
150 * executed on ordinary worker threads but use a dedicated pool of pthreads not
151 * shared with the global queues or any other pthread root queues.
153 * NOTE: this is a special-purpose facility that should only be used in very
154 * limited circumstances, in almost all cases the global concurrent queues
155 * should be preferred. While this facility allows for more flexibility in
156 * configuring worker threads for special needs it comes at the cost of
157 * increased overall memory usage due to reduced thread sharing and higher
158 * latency in worker thread bringup.
160 * Dispatch pthread root queues do not support suspension, application context
161 * and change of width or of target queue. They can however be used as the
162 * target queue for serial or concurrent queues obtained via
163 * dispatch_queue_create() or dispatch_queue_create_with_target(), which
164 * enables the blocks submitted to those queues to be processed on the root
165 * queue's pthread pool.
167 * When a dispatch pthread root queue is no longer needed, it should be
168 * released with dispatch_release(). Existing worker pthreads and pending blocks
169 * submitted to the root queue will hold a reference to the queue so it will not
170 * be deallocated until all blocks have finished and worker threads exited.
173 * A string label to attach to the queue.
174 * This parameter is optional and may be NULL.
177 * Reserved for future use. Passing any value other than zero may result in
178 * a NULL return value.
181 * Attributes passed to pthread_create(3) when creating worker pthreads. This
182 * parameter is copied and can be destroyed after this call returns.
183 * This parameter is optional and may be NULL.
186 * Configuration block called on newly created worker pthreads before any blocks
187 * for the root queue are executed. The block may configure the current thread
189 * This parameter is optional and may be NULL.
192 * The newly created dispatch pthread root queue.
