RE: [cdt-dev] Process.setPriority()
|
May I suggest one routine, and some constants to go with it:
public int setPriority(int priority) { /* ... */ }
public final int PRIORITY_HIGHEST = 2;
public final int PRIORITY_ABOVENORMAL = 1;
public final int PRIORITY_NORMAL = 0;
public final int PRIORITY_BELOWNORMAL = -1;
public final int PRIORITY_LOWEST = -2;
(inspired by C# Thread.Priority property)
Not sure about the values (positive and negative) but having constants would be nice (no pun intended).
