Detailed Description

Base class for objects that implement threads.

Reimplement method threadMethod() in derived classes. threadMethod() will be run in an extra thread when run() is called.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~goThreadObject()

goThreadObject::~goThreadObject ( )

virtual

@TODO Think of a way to clean up threads nicely when object is destroyed.

Member Function Documentation

getThread()

goThread& goThreadObject::getThread ( )

inline

Returns

A reference to the goThread object used to run the thread(s).

isCurrentThread()

bool goThreadObject::isCurrentThread ( ) const

inline

Check if this thread is the current one.

Returns

True if this thread is the currently running thread, false otherwise.

run()

void goThreadObject::run ( int  nt = 1 )

virtual

Creates a new thread of execution. The thread function is threadMethod().

Parameters

nt	Number of threads to spawn. 1 by default. If this differs from 1, then threadMethod() is executed in nt threads at the same time.

threadMethod()

void goThreadObject::threadMethod ( )

virtual

This method must be reimplemented by a subclass. This method contains the code of the new thread.

Reimplemented in MainWindowThread< MW >, and goNet::goNetObject.
