The ThreadImpl namespace represents the functionality needed by the BloCxx Thread class (Thread).
It also contains other misellaneous functions which are useful for synchronization and threads. It is essentially an abstraction layer over a thread implementation.
BLOCXX_COMMON_API void BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::cancel | ( | Thread_t | threadID | ) |
BLOCXX_COMMON_API int BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::createThread | ( | Thread_t & | handle, |
ThreadFunction | func, | ||
void * | funcParm, | ||
UInt32 | threadFlags | ||
) |
Starts a thread running the given function.
handle | A platform specific thread handle |
func | The function that will run within the new thread. |
funcParm | The parameter to func |
flags | The flags to use when creating the thread. Currently flags can contain the following: THREAD_JOINABLE - Thread will be created in the joinable state. |

BLOCXX_COMMON_API void BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::destroyThread | ( | Thread_t & | handle | ) |
Destroy any resources associated with a thread that was created with the createThread method.

BLOCXX_COMMON_API void BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::exitThread | ( | Thread_t & | handle, |
Int32 | rval | ||
) |
Exit thread method.
This method is called everytime a thread exits. When the POSIX threads are being used, pthread_exit is called. This function does not return.
handle | The thread handle of the calling thread. |
rval | The thread's return value. This can get picked up by joinThread. |

BLOCXX_COMMON_API int BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::joinThread | ( | Thread_t & | handle, |
Int32 & | rval | ||
) |
Join a thread that has been previously set to joinable.
It is Assumed that if the thread has already terminated, this method will still succeed and return immediately.
handle | A handle to the thread to join with. |
rval | An out parameter of the thread's return code. |

bool BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::sameThreads | ( | const volatile Thread_t & | handle1, |
const volatile Thread_t & | handle2 | ||
) | [inline] |
Check two platform dependant thread types for equality.
handle1 | The 1st thread type for the comparison. |
handle2 | The 2nd thread type for the comparison. |

BLOCXX_COMMON_API int BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::setThreadDetached | ( | Thread_t & | handle | ) |
Set a thread that was previously in the joinable state to a detached state.
This will allow the threads resources to be released upon termination without being joined. A thread that is in the detached state can no longer be joined.
handle | The thread to set to the detached state. |
BLOCXX_COMMON_API void BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::sleep | ( | const Timeout & | timeout | ) |
Suspend execution of the current thread until the given number of seconds have elapsed.
seconds | The number of seconds to suspend execution for. |

BLOCXX_COMMON_API void BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::testCancel | ( | ) |
Test if this thread has been cancelled.
If so, a ThreadCancelledException will be thrown. DO NOT catch this exception. ThreadCancelledException is not derived from anything. Do not write code like this: try { //... } catch (...) { // swallow all exceptions }
Instead do this: try { //... } catch (ThreadCancelledException&) { throw; } catch (std::exception& e) { // handle the exception } The only place ThreadCancelledException should be caught is in Thread::threadRunner(). main() shouldn't need to catch it, as the main thread of an application should never be cancelled. The main thread shouldn't need to ever call testCancel. Note that this method is staic, and it will check the the current running thread has been cacelled. Thus, you can't call it on an object that doesn't represent the current running thread and expect it to work.

BLOCXX_COMMON_API UInt64 BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::thread_t_ToUInt64 | ( | Thread_t | thr | ) |
Convert a Thread_t to an UInt64.
This hides platform dependencies like that fact that on some platforms (e.g linux) Thread_t is integral type, and can therefor be static_cast<>ed to unsigned long, but on other platforms, like FreeBSD, Thread_t is void*, or something else, and reinterpret_cast<> (hopefully that works ...) must be used.
BLOCXX_COMMON_API void BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::ThreadImpl::yield | ( | ) |
Voluntarily yield to the processor giving the next thread in the chain the opportunity to run.
