Detailed Description

Class wrapping around the pthreads. This class will ease the way to launch threads with a more object oriented, approach.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Thread()

Thread::Thread

(

)

Default constructor. This constructor just initialize the pthread_mutex_t structure with its defaults values, just like static initialization with PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER

Definition at line 126 of file xmipp_threads.cpp.

{
}

~Thread()

Thread::~Thread ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 130 of file xmipp_threads.cpp.

{
    pthread_join(thId, NULL);
}

Member Function Documentation

run()

virtual void Thread::run ( )

pure virtual

This function should be implemented in subclasses and will be the main threads working function.

Implemented in FeaturesThread.

start()

void Thread::start

(

)

This function should not be re-implemented in sub-classes. This is the function to be called to start the run() in a separated thread.

Definition at line 135 of file xmipp_threads.cpp.

{
    int result = pthread_create(&thId, NULL, _singleThreadMain, (void*)this);

    if (result != 0)
    {
        std::cerr << "Thread: can't start thread." << std::endl;
        exit(1);
    }
}
