In order to make a thread actually do something useful, // you must derive a subclass from class Thread and implement the // run() function. If the operating system supports threading then // the run() function will be executed int a new thread. // // The actual creation of the thread is done by the start() routine // which then calls the run() function. In general the start() // routine should be called from the constructor of the derived class. // // The base-class thread destructor will join/destroy the thread. // // IMPORTANT: Due to the mechanisms that encapsulate the low-level // threading primitives in a C++ class there is a race condition // with code resembling the following: // // { // WorkerThread myThread; // } // myThread goes out of scope, is destroyed // // and the thread is joined // // The race is between the parent thread joining the child thread // in the destructor of myThread, and the run() function in the // child thread. If the destructor gets executed first then run() // will be called with an invalid "this" pointer. // // This issue can be fixed by using a Semaphore to keep track of // whether the run() function has already been called. You can // include a Semaphore member variable within your derived class // which you post() on in the run() function, and wait() on in the // destructor before the thread is joined. Alternatively you could // do something like this: // // Semaphore runStarted; // // void WorkerThread::run () // { // runStarted.post() // // do some work // ... // } // // { // WorkerThread myThread; // runStarted.wait (); // ensure that we have started // // the run function // } // myThread goes out of scope, is destroyed // // and the thread is joined // //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include "IlmBaseConfig.h" #include "IlmThreadExport.h" #include "IlmThreadNamespace.h" #ifdef ILMBASE_FORCE_CXX03 # if defined _WIN32 || defined _WIN64 # ifdef NOMINMAX # undef NOMINMAX # endif # define NOMINMAX # include # include # elif HAVE_PTHREAD # include # endif #else # include #endif ILMTHREAD_INTERNAL_NAMESPACE_HEADER_ENTER // // Query function to determine if the current platform supports // threads AND this library was compiled with threading enabled. // ILMTHREAD_EXPORT bool supportsThreads (); class Thread { public: ILMTHREAD_EXPORT Thread (); ILMTHREAD_EXPORT virtual ~Thread (); ILMTHREAD_EXPORT void start (); ILMTHREAD_EXPORT virtual void run () = 0; private: #ifdef ILMBASE_FORCE_CXX03 # if defined _WIN32 || defined _WIN64 HANDLE _thread; # elif HAVE_PTHREAD pthread_t _thread; # endif void operator = (const Thread& t); // not implemented Thread (const Thread& t); // not implemented #else std::thread _thread; Thread &operator= (const Thread& t) = delete; Thread (const Thread& t) = delete; #endif }; ILMTHREAD_INTERNAL_NAMESPACE_HEADER_EXIT #endif // INCLUDED_ILM_THREAD_H
