Member Function Documentation
| void Win32::Win32Thread::SetName | ( | const Util::String & | n | ) | [inline] |
set thread name
Set the thread's name. To obtain the current thread's name from anywhere in the thread's execution context, call the static method Thread::GetMyThreadName().
| const Util::String & Win32::Win32Thread::GetName | ( | ) | const [inline] |
get thread name
Get the thread's name. This is the vanilla method which returns the name member. To obtain the current thread's name from anywhere in the thread's execution context, call the static method Thread::GetMyThreadName().
| void Win32::Win32Thread::Start | ( | ) |
| void Win32::Win32Thread::Stop | ( | ) |
request threading code to stop, returns when thread has actually finished
This stops the thread by signalling the stopRequestEvent and waits for the thread to actually quit. If the thread code runs in a loop it should use the IsStopRequested() method to see if the thread object wants it to shutdown. If so DoWork() should simply return.
| const char * Win32::Win32Thread::GetMyThreadName | ( | ) | [static] |
obtain name of thread from within thread code
Static method to obtain the current thread name from anywhere in the thread's code.
| void Win32::Win32Thread::EmitWakeupSignal | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
override this method if your thread loop needs a wakeup call before stopping
This method is called by Thread::Stop() after setting the stopRequest event and before waiting for the thread to stop. If your thread runs a loop and waits for jobs it may need an extra wakeup signal to stop waiting and check for the ThreadStopRequested() event. In this case, override this method and signal your event object.
| void Win32::Win32Thread::DoWork | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
this method runs in the thread context
This method should be derived in a Thread subclass and contains the actual code which is run in the thread. The method must not call C-Lib functions under Win32. To terminate the thread, just return from this function. If DoWork() runs in an infinite loop, call ThreadStopRequested() to check whether the Thread object wants the thread code to quit.
| bool Win32::Win32Thread::ThreadStopRequested | ( | ) | const [inline, protected] |
check if stop is requested, call from DoWork() to see if the thread proc should quit
If the derived DoWork() method is running in a loop it must regularly check if the process wants the thread to terminate by calling ThreadStopRequested() and simply return if the result is true. This will cause the thread to shut down.
| int Core::RefCounted::GetRefCount | ( | ) | const [inline, inherited] |
get the current refcount
Return the current refcount of the object.
| void Core::RefCounted::AddRef | ( | ) | [inline, inherited] |
increment refcount by one
Increment the refcount of the object.
| void Core::RefCounted::Release | ( | ) | [inline, inherited] |
decrement refcount and destroy object if refcount is zero
Decrement the refcount and destroy object if refcount is zero.
| const Util::String & Core::RefCounted::GetClassName | ( | ) | const [inline, inherited] |
get the class name
Get the class name of the object.
| Util::FourCC Core::RefCounted::GetClassFourCC | ( | ) | const [inline, inherited] |
get the class FourCC code
Get the class FourCC of the object.
| void Core::RefCounted::DumpRefCountingLeaks | ( | ) | [static, inherited] |
dump refcounting leaks, call at end of application (NEBULA3_DEBUG builds only!)
This method should be called as the very last before an application exits.
