Task.runInThreadSync

Runs @task_func in another thread, and waits for it to return or be cancelled. You can use g_task_propagate_pointer(), etc, afterward to get the result of @task_func.

See #GTaskThreadFunc for more details about how @task_func is handled.

Normally this is used with tasks created with a %NULL callback, but note that even if the task does have a callback, it will not be invoked when @task_func returns. #GTask:completed will be set to %TRUE just before this function returns.

Although GLib currently rate-limits the tasks queued via g_task_run_in_thread_sync(), you should not assume that it will always do this. If you have a very large number of tasks to run, but don't want them to all run at once, you should only queue a limited number of them at a time.
