// Copyright 2004, Ondra Kamenik // Simple threads. /* This file defines types making a simple interface to multi-threading. The file provides the following interfaces: \unorderedlist \li |detach_thread| is a pure virtual class, which must be inherited and a method |operator()()| be implemented as the running code of the thread. \li |detach_thread_group| allows insertion of |detach_thread|s and running all of them simultaneously. The threads are not joined, they are synchronized by means of a counter counting running threads. A change of the counter is checked by waiting on an associated condition. The number of maximum parallel threads can be controlled. See below. The group also provides a mutex to be shared between the workers for their own synchronization purposes. \endunorderedlist The number of maximum parallel threads is controlled via a static member of the |detach_thread_group| class. */ #ifndef STHREAD_H #define STHREAD_H #include #include #include #include #include #include #include namespace sthread { /* The detached thread is the same as joinable |thread|.
