dispatch_after - GCD in Swift?

Question

I\'ve gone through the iBook from Apple, and couldn\'t find any definition of it:

Can someone explain the structure of dispatch_after?

Answer 1

Here is synchronous version of asyncAfter in Swift:

let deadline = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(3)
let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore.init(value: 0)
DispatchQueue.global().asyncAfter(deadline: deadline) {
    dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(DispatchQueue.global()))
    semaphore.signal()
}

semaphore.wait()

Along with asynchronous one:

let deadline = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(3)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: deadline) {
    dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(DispatchQueue.global()))
}
