Method Thread.set_thread_quanta()


Method set_thread_quanta

int(0..) set_thread_quanta(int(0..) ns)

Description

Set the thread quanta.

Parameter ns

New thread quanta in nanoseconds. A value of zero (default) disables the thread quanta checks.

When enabled MasterObject.thread_quanta_exceeded() will be called when a thread has spent more time than the quanta without allowing another thread to run.

Note

Setting a non-zero value that is too small to allow for MasterObject.thread_quanta_exceeded() to run is NOT a good idea.

Returns

Returns the previous thread quanta in nanoseconds.
