ThreadPool.setMaxThreads

Sets the maximal allowed number of threads for pool. A value of -1 means that the maximal number of threads is unlimited. If pool is an exclusive thread pool, setting the maximal number of threads to -1 is not allowed.

Setting max_threads to 0 means stopping all work for pool. It is effectively frozen until max_threads is set to a non-zero value again.

A thread is never terminated while calling func, as supplied by [glib.thread_pool.ThreadPool.new_]. Instead the maximal number of threads only has effect for the allocation of new threads in [glib.thread_pool.ThreadPool.push]. A new thread is allocated, whenever the number of currently running threads in pool is smaller than the maximal number.

error can be null to ignore errors, or non-null to report errors. An error can only occur when a new thread couldn't be created.

Before version 2.32, this function did not return a success status.
