#476: GCD Groups should be a wrapper around dispatch, not its own invocation style ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: ernest.prabhakar@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: MacRuby 0.5 Component: MacRuby | Keywords: gcd ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment(by ernest.prabhakar@…): Here's an alternative proposal that would probably be simpler to implement: group.for_queue(q).dispatch(sync) { block } That is, group.dispatch would take a 'sync' parameter, just like queue.dispatch. The default would be the default queue, but the group would have an ivar representing the "current' queue. This provides consistency while avoiding the need to always specify the sync to define a queue. Of course, the syntax is ugly, but this allows us to define a convenience method on queue: queue.for(group).dispatch(sync) { block } That seems the most consistent with how dispatch works outside of groups, and semantically cleaner.
