Detailed Description

A native OS thread.

Example:

Thread thread;
thread.start([](Thread& thread)
{
    // It's highly recommended setting a name for the thread
    thread.setThreadName(SC_NATIVE_STR("My Thread"));
    // Do something on the thread
    Thread::Sleep(1000); // Sleep for 1 second
});
thread.join(); // wait until thread has finished executing
 
// ...or
 
thread.detach(); // To keep thread running after Thread destructor

Warning

Thread destructor will assert if SC::Thread::detach() or SC::Thread::join() has not been called.

Member Function Documentation

CurrentThreadID()

static uint64_t SC::Thread::CurrentThreadID ( )

static

Returns thread id of the thread calling the function.

Returns

thread id

detach()

Result SC::Thread::detach

(

)

Detaches the thread so that its resources are automatically released back to the system without Thread::join.

Returns

Valid Result if thread has been detached

join()

Result SC::Thread::join

(

)

Waits for thread to finish and releases its resources.

Returns

Valid Result if thread has finished

setThreadName()

void SC::Thread::setThreadName

(

const native_char_t *

name

)

Sets current thread name ONLY if called from inside the thread.

Parameters

name	The name of the thread

Warning

This function will ASSERT if it's not called from the thread itself.

Sleep()

static void SC::Thread::Sleep ( uint32_t  milliseconds )

static

Puts current thread to sleep.

Parameters

milliseconds

Sleep for given number of milliseconds

start()

Result SC::Thread::start

(

Function< void(Thread &)> &&

func

)

Starts the new thread with given name and func.

Parameters

func	Function running on thread. Must be a valid pointer to action for the entire duration of thread.

threadID()

uint64_t SC::Thread::threadID

(

)

Returns thread id of this thread object (not current thread)

wasStarted()

bool SC::Thread::wasStarted

(

)

const

Check if thread has been started.

Returns

true if thread has been started
