Member Function Documentation

static Thread* xmltooling::Thread::create (  void *(*)(void *)  start_routine, void *  arg, size_t  stacksize = 0 )  [static]

Creates a new thread object to run the supplied start routine. Parameters: start_routine  the function to execute on the thread arg  a parameter for the start routine stacksize  size of stack to use, or 0 for default Returns: the created and running thread object

virtual int xmltooling::Thread::detach (   )  [pure virtual]

Disassociate from the thread. Returns: 0 for success, non-zero for failure

static void xmltooling::Thread::exit (  void *  return_val  )  [static]

Exits a thread gracefully. Parameters: return_val  the return value for the thread

virtual int xmltooling::Thread::join (  void **  thread_return  )  [pure virtual]

Join with the thread and wait for its completion. Parameters: thread_return  holds the return value of the thread routine Returns: 0 for success, non-zero for failure

virtual int xmltooling::Thread::kill (  int  signo  )  [pure virtual]

Kill the thread. Parameters: signo  the signal to send to the thread Returns: 0 for success, non-zero for failure

static int xmltooling::Thread::mask_signals (  int  how, const sigset_t *  newmask, sigset_t *  oldmask )  [static]

Masks specific signals from a thread. Parameters: how  newmask  the new signal mask oldmask  the old signal mask Returns: 0 for success, non-zero for failure

static void xmltooling::Thread::sleep (  int  seconds  )  [static]

Sleeps the current thread for the specified amount of time. Parameters: seconds  time to sleep
