Threading

The Open Screen Library is single-threaded; all of its code is intended to be run on a single sequence, with a few exceptions noted below.

A library client must invoke all library APIs on the same sequence that is used to run tasks on the client's TaskRunner implementation.

Exceptions

  • The trace logging framework is thread-safe.
  • The TaskRunner itself is thread-safe.
  • The POSIX platform implementation starts a network thread, and handles interactions between that thread and the TaskRunner internally.
