Description

A thin convenience wrapper to simplify thread-handling.

The implementation is backed by the C++ standard library. Using this wrapper...

removes the need to join() threads, catches and ignores exceptions.
allows to bind to various kinds of functions including member functions The new thread starts immediately within the ctor; after returning, the new thread has already copied the arguments and indeed actively started to run.
Warning
The destructor waits for a short grace period of 20ms, but calls std::terminate afterwards, should the thread still be active then.

Additional Inherited Members
Static Public Member Functions inherited from ThreadLifecycle< thread::PolicyLaunchOnly >
static auto	buildInvocation (W &wrapper, tuple< INVO... > &&invocation)
	Build the invocation tuple, using invokeThreadFunction to delegate to the user-provided functor and arguments.

static auto	buildLauncher (INVO &&...args)
	Build a λ actually to launch the given thread operation later, after the thread-wrapper-object is fully initialised.

Public Member Functions inherited from ThreadLifecycle< thread::PolicyLaunchOnly >
	ThreadLifecycle (Launch launcher)
	Primary constructor: Launch the new thread with flexible configuration.

	ThreadLifecycle (string const &threadID, FUN &&threadFunction, ARGS &&...args)
	Create a new thread to execute the given operation.

	ThreadLifecycle (void(SUB::*memFun)(ARGS...), ARGS ...args)
	Special variant to bind a subclass member function as thread operation.

	operator bool () const
	Is this thread »active« and thus tied to OS resources?

Protected Member Functions inherited from ThreadLifecycle< thread::PolicyLaunchOnly >
	~ThreadLifecycle ()

	ThreadLifecycle ()
	derived classes may create a disabled thread
