Detailed Description

class Thread Represents a thread of execution in the process. To create a new Thread write an inherited class ot Thread and override the run() function

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Thread::Thread ( )

@ The Thread class implementation @/

/** Thread() default constructor

Definition at line 63 of file ou_thread.cpp.

Thread::Thread ( const char *  nm)

Thread(const char* nm) overloaded constructor creates a Thread object identified by "nm"

Definition at line 72 of file ou_thread.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

string Thread::getName ( ) const

getName() return the Thread object's name as a string

Definition at line 93 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::release ( const char *  m)

release(const char* m) releases the mutex "m" and makes it available for other threads

Definition at line 207 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::resume ( )

resume() resumes a suspended thread

Definition at line 168 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::run ( )
virtual

run() called by the thread callback _ou_thread_proc() to be overridden by child classes of Thread

Reimplemented in GloveCalibration.

Definition at line 101 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::setName ( const char *  nm)

setName(const char* nm) sets the Thread object's name to "nm"

Definition at line 86 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::setPriority ( int  tp)

setPriority(int tp) sets the priority of the thread to "tp" "tp" must be a valid priority defined in the Thread class

Definition at line 142 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::sleep ( long  ms)

sleep(long ms) holds back the thread's execution for "ms" milliseconds

Definition at line 109 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::start ( )

start() creates a low-level thread object and calls the run() function

Definition at line 117 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::stop ( )

stop() stops the running thread and frees the thread handle

Definition at line 130 of file ou_thread.cpp.

void Thread::suspend ( )

suspend() suspends the thread

Definition at line 155 of file ou_thread.cpp.

bool Thread::wait ( const char *  m,
long  ms = 5000 
)

wait(const char* m,long ms) makes the thread suspend execution until the mutex represented by "m" is released by another thread. "ms" specifies a time-out for the wait operation. "ms" defaults to 5000 milli-seconds
