Detailed Description

This is a wrapper class transforming a POSIX 'pthread' thread, into an object conformant to the required interface. This is a straightforward implementation, which creates and destroys threads as required, without a pool. Therefore, not very efficient, but easy for debugging. If a threads pool is needed, it is possible to encapsulate this thread class with an adapter still providing the same interface, but managing internall, a threads pool.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

rpa::posix_thread::posix_thread

(

const posix_thread &

)

[private]

Threads are not copiable, nor assignable.

rpa::posix_thread::posix_thread

(

)

A cheap constructor.

rpa::posix_thread::~posix_thread

(

)

The thread may be still running (But this would be a bug...).

Member Function Documentation

void rpa::posix_thread::cancel

(

void

)

int rpa::posix_thread::create	(	posix_fun_ptr	aFunc,
		void *	aData
	)

If there are not enough resources to create a new thread, it is possible to call the function in the current thread.

bool rpa::posix_thread::exec_lock

(

void

)

void rpa::posix_thread::join

(

void

)

posix_thread& rpa::posix_thread::operator=

(

const posix_thread &

)

[private]

static id_t rpa::posix_thread::self

(

void

)

[inline, static]

Returns the id of the current thread. It is not mandatory to implement this member.

Member Data Documentation

bool rpa::posix_thread::_created [private]

pthread_t rpa::posix_thread::_thread [private]
