Detailed Description

Thread base class: Override this to create new threads.

To create a thread, override this class. Store data as members with accessors to set input and read output. Override the Run() method to do the actual work. e.g. the following class implements a thread which can sum a list of numbers.

class Thread_test : public Thread_base {
public:
class Data : public std::vector<int> {
public:
Data() {}
Data( std::vector<int> v ) : std::vector<int>(v) {}
};
void Run() {
sum = 0;
while ( 1 ) {
lock();
int c = current++;
unlock();
if ( c >= data_.size() ) break;
sum += data_[c];
}
}
static void set_data( Data d ) { data_ = d; }
static Data data_;
static int current;
int sum;
};
