Constructor & Destructor Documentation

thread::Thread::Thread ( )

Constructor.

thread::Thread::~Thread ( )

virtual

Destructor.

bool thread::Thread::isStopped ( ) const

protected

Returns true if the thread was stopped.

Must be checked regularly from within run().

void thread::Thread::join ( )

Joins the thread.

virtual void thread::Thread::run ( )

protectedpure virtual

This is the method that will be executed by the thread.

In case this is implemented with a loop, isStopped() should be checked reguarly (and the loop shall be exited if isStopped() returns true).

void thread::Thread::start ( )

Starts the Thread.

Calling this again the thread has been started already will have no effect. (That includes calling start() again after the thread has been joined.)

void thread::Thread::stop ( )

Sets the internal flag stopped_ to true.
