Public Methods
	OSThreadPthread ()
	OSThreadPthread (bool val)
bool	start (void *(*func)(void *), void *data)
	Starts OS specific thread OS dependant implementation must provide a valid function to execute the thread; Thread.cpp has already some valid ones.
bool	stop ()
	Stop this OS specific thread.
void *	join () throw ( NotJoinableError )
	Joins this OS Specific threads.
int	enableCancel ()
	Enables cancelation: This function returns the old status on success, that can be later reset with setCancelStatus.
int	disableCancel ()
	Disables cancelation.
bool	setCancelState (int state)
	Raw function to set the cancel type.
void	testCancel ()
	Kill the thread on OS level cancelation.
void	setCancelDeferred ()
	Tells the thread that it must use deferred cancelation.
void	detach ()
	Detach thread.
void	exit (void *data)
	Exit the thread.
bool	same () const
	Returns true if the currently running thread and this objects are the same.
bool	equal (const OSThreadBase &th) const
	Returns true if this object is equal (on OS opinion) to the parameter.
virtual bool	setCurrent ()
	Change this thread object to the current OS dependant thread.
virtual void	invalidate ()
Private Attributes
pthread_t	m_thid
	posix thread id
bool	m_valid
	true if this thread is considered valid

Member Function Documentation

void Wefts::OSThreadPthread::detach (    )  [inline, virtual]

Detach thread. Note: Wefts detaching differs from pthread detaching; a wefts detached thread is just a thread whose class data will be automatically destroyed on termination (and that can't be joined). See also: Thread::detach() Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

int Wefts::OSThreadPthread::disableCancel (    )  [inline, virtual]

Disables cancelation. Wokrs like enableCancel. See also: enableCancel() Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

int Wefts::OSThreadPthread::enableCancel (    )  [inline, virtual]

Enables cancelation: This function returns the old status on success, that can be later reset with setCancelStatus. On error, return type is undefined. Note: a candidate for exception rising. Todo: write a low-level exception system. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

bool Wefts::OSThreadPthread::equal (  const OSThreadBase &    th )  const [inline, virtual]

Returns true if this object is equal (on OS opinion) to the parameter. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

void Wefts::OSThreadPthread::exit (  void *    data )  [inline, virtual]

Exit the thread. Run() can call this method instead of retunring a void *; the effect is the same. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

virtual void Wefts::OSThreadPthread::invalidate (    )  [inline, virtual]

Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

void* Wefts::OSThreadPthread::join (    )  throw ( NotJoinableError ) [inline, virtual]

Joins this OS Specific threads. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

bool Wefts::OSThreadPthread::same (    )  [inline, virtual]

Returns true if the currently running thread and this objects are the same. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

void Wefts::OSThreadPthread::setCancelDeferred (    )  [inline, virtual]

Tells the thread that it must use deferred cancelation. The OS may provide deferred cancelation schemes natively, or not. In the latter case, deferred cancelation must be emulated; See Cancellation Issues. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

bool Wefts::OSThreadPthread::setCancelState (  int    state )  [inline, virtual]

Raw function to set the cancel type. This function should be used only with the integer returned by enableCancel() and disableCancel(), as no assumption can be made about what the meaning of the parameter could be in different environments. Parameters: state  system dependant (that is to say: don't touch it). Returns: true on success Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

virtual bool Wefts::OSThreadPthread::setCurrent (    )  [inline, virtual]

Change this thread object to the current OS dependant thread. It makes so that all the internal variables are set to reflect this current thread. In some implementation, updating of some variables my be deferred to a later moment; the important thing is to change the thread type. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

bool Wefts::OSThreadPthread::start (  void *(*    func)(void *), void *    data )  [inline, virtual]

Starts OS specific thread OS dependant implementation must provide a valid function to execute the thread; Thread.cpp has already some valid ones. Parameters: func  the function to be executed in parallel thread. data  the data to be passed to os-level thread function Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

bool Wefts::OSThreadPthread::stop (    )  [inline, virtual]

Stop this OS specific thread. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.

void Wefts::OSThreadPthread::testCancel (    )  [inline, virtual]

Kill the thread on OS level cancelation. Implements Wefts::OSThreadBase.
