Question on the ThreadPool, COM objects and blocking.

All,

I have an application that spawns several worker threads (using
asynchronous callbacks with Begin/EndInvoke) that make calls to the
WMI using the System.Manageme nt namespace.

Since the Management classes are largely a wrapper around COM objects,
I'm wondering what thread blocking issues I might run into when my
worker thread executes a method such ManagementClass .GetInstances() .

For example, let's say my worker thread makes a call to GetInstances,
and there are currently 0 available threads in the ThreadPool. Does
the call to GetInstances attempt to use the current thread, or will it
spawn a new thread? If it spawns a new thread, does the CLR attempt to
create a new thread from the Thread Pool?

Currently, my application runs just fine and I don't have any blocking
issues, but I was reviewing my code and I began to wonder if I might
start seeing problems down the road.

Thanks for any info!

Mark

hi, the framework has the ThreadPool class. Very handy. But as far as I can see this is a singleton (only 1 instance). Does anybody know a way how to have multiple ThreadPools inside a single application ? Regards,

Hi I have some difficulties understanding some issues with multithreading: *What is the meaning of: "implement a method to run each update call in its own thread" *If i have a component that does an AsynchronousCallBack that will pass data to the client, which thread will process the data, the caller or the client ? *How can know which thread is doing that

Hello, here's my problem (I've been searching for a fews days already and couldn't find a solution) I've got a bunch of mails to create, so I'd like to queue jobs in a threadpool (which I can do already), but once all jobs are queued, I'd like the main thread to wait until all mails are generated. So far I haven't found how to do that, since the threadpool doesn't provide an adapted WaitAll method. Could anyone help please ?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
