Detailed Description

Simplified thread wrapper to hide pthread complexity.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Thread() [1/2]

madness::Thread::Thread ( )

inline

Default constructor.

start() must be invoked to actually execute the thread.

Thread() [2/2]

madness::Thread::Thread ( void *(*)(void *)  f, void *  args = nullptr  )

inline

Create a thread and start it running f(args).

Parameters

[in]	f	The function to be called.
[in,out]	args	The arguments to the function.

References madness::ThreadBase::start().

~Thread()

virtual madness::Thread::~Thread ( )

virtualdefault

Member Function Documentation

run()

void madness::Thread::run ( )

inlineprivatevirtual

Invokes the function for this thread.

Implements madness::ThreadBase.

References args, and f.

start()

void madness::Thread::start ( void *(*)(void *)  f, void *  args = nullptr  )

inline

Start the thread by running f(args).

Parameters

[in]	f	The function to be called.
[in,out]	args	The arguments to the function.

References args, f, and madness::ThreadBase::start().

Member Data Documentation

args

void* madness::Thread::args

private

The arguments passed to this thread for execution.

Referenced by run(), and start().

f

void *(* madness::Thread::f) (void *)

private

The function called for executing this thread.

Todo:

should we replace this by a std::function?

Referenced by run(), and start().
