Detailed Description

Class to spawn a thread and meet an exited thread. Can use GLib threads if you define USE_GLIB_THREADS, uses pthread otherwise. The main difference between using pthread and glib threads is discussed in the meetThread method.

Member Function Documentation

exit()

void Thread::exit ( void *  retVal )

inline

Called to exit the thread passes retVal to the one who calls meetThread

Parameters

retVal

The pointer to pass to the meetThread caller

Definition at line 219 of file Thread.H.

getPriority()

int Thread::getPriority ( )

inline

Definition at line 180 of file Thread.H.

Here is the call graph for this function:

meetThread()

void* Thread::meetThread ( void  )

inline

Wait for the thread to end

Returns

If using USE_GLIB_THREADS then NULL, if using pthreads, then the argument passed to Thread::exit when called by the exiting thread.

Definition at line 197 of file Thread.H.

run()

int Thread::run ( void *(*)(void *)  start_routine, void *  data, int  priority = 0  )

inline

Start a thread running start_routine, passing data to that function

Parameters

start_routine	The function to run after the thread has been started
data	The argument to be pased to the thread
priority	The priority to schedule with if =0 then don't set the priority (pthreads only)

Returns

NO_ERROR on success or THREAD_CREATE_ERROR on failure

Here is the caller graph for this function:

running()

bool Thread::running ( )

inline

Find out if the thread is running.

Returns

true if running, false if stopped.

Here is the call graph for this function:

stop()

void* Thread::stop ( void  )

inline

Force the thread to stop.

Returns

The exit value once the thread is met.

Examples:
