Is this also intended, at least in the future, for things like
long-running calculations that need some monitoring/reporting of
progress not just the final result? I mean, some monitoring can be
always implemented on top of GTask but once I get my hands dirty with
explicit asynchronous communication I can implement that directly on top
of GThread as well. I always look hopefully at the asynchronous
interfaces in GLib with hope, however, the intended use cases do not
seem to match mine...
Popping results out of a running thread is easy to do.
Create a GAsyncQueue.
In your thread, add your results to the queue, a schedule a function to
be called from the main loop with g_idle_add().
In your g_idle_add() callback, use g_async_queue_pop() to get the
results, and free your results.
