Create task queue example - XBOX Game Development Documentation

This topic provides an example of how to create a task queue. Simply call XTaskQueueCreate, pass in the modes for each port, and then save the created handle.

XTaskQueueHandle taskQueue1;
HRESULT hr = XTaskQueueCreate(
    XTaskQueueDispatchMode::ThreadPool,
    XTaskQueueDispatchMode::Manual,
    &taskQueue1);

XTaskQueueHandle taskQueue2;
hr = XTaskQueueCreate(
    XTaskQueueDispatchMode::Immediate,
    XTaskQueueDispatchMode::SerializedThreadPool,
    &taskQueue2);

If there isn’t an error with the return code, the task queue is now represented by the returned XTaskQueueHandle.
