Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ucc::DetachedThread::DetachedThread ( size_t  size = 0) [protected]

Create a detached thread with a known context stack size.

Parameters:
sizeof stack for thread context or 0 for default.
ucc::DetachedThread::~DetachedThread ( ) [protected]

Destroys object when thread context exits.

Never externally deleted. Derived object may also have destructor to clean up thread-specific member data.


Member Function Documentation

void ucc::DetachedThread::exit ( void  ) [protected, virtual]

Exit context of detached thread.

Thread object will be deleted. This function should NO LONGER be called directly to exit a running thread. Instead, the thread should only "return" through the run() method to exit. The documented usage was changed so that exit() can still be used to modify the "delete this" behavior of detached threads while merging thread exit behavior with Mozilla NSPR.

Reimplemented from ucc::Thread.

void ucc::DetachedThread::start ( int  priority = 0)

Start execution of detached context.

This must be called after the object is created (perhaps with "new"). This method actually begins the new thread context, which then calls the object's run method.

Parameters:
priorityto start thread with.
