Detailed Description

Example of TTasks.

Create a hierarchy of objects derived from TTask in library Mytasks Show the tasks in a browser. To execute a Task, use the context context menu and select the item "ExecuteTask" see also other functions in the TTask context menu, such as

• setting a breakpoint in one or more tasks
• enabling/disabling one task, etc

As of 2021, tbb is a fine replacement for ROOT's task system. It offers better interplay with non-ROOT multi-threading use cases.
