Constructor

Member Function Documentation

int SPL::Thread::create ( pthread_attr_t * attr = NULL,

bool detached = false,

void * args = NULL,

bool waitStart = false,

size_t stackSize = 0,

pthread_t * id = NULL

)

inline

Create a thread

Parameters:

attr the attributes used by pthread_create

detached create thread in detached state

args the arguments passed to the thread

waitStart wait until the thread has started

stackSize thread stack size (uses pthread default if 0)

id thread id representing this tread

Returns:: return value from the pthread_create call

int SPL::Thread::join ( void * status = NULL )

inline

Join a thread

Parameters:

status returns the value returned by a thread once it finishes

void SPL::Thread::detach ( )

inline

Detach a thread

void SPL::Thread::kill ( int sig = 9 )

inline

Send a signal to a thread

Parameters:

sig signal to send (see kill(1) for the possible signal values)

void SPL::Thread::cancel ( )

inline

Cancel the thread

void SPL::Thread::enableCancel ( int type )

inline

Turn on cancel

Parameters:

type pthread cancel type

void SPL::Thread::disableCancel ( )

inline

Turn off cancel.

virtual void* SPL::Thread::run ( void * args )

pure virtual

Execute the task a thread is supposed to do. This method is customized by someone writing the code that is supposed to be executed as a thread

Parameters:

args the arguments received by a thread

virtual pthread_t SPL::Thread::getPThreadId ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Obtain the thread id

Returns:: the thread id for the thread
