ThreadWrapper Struct Reference

#include "lib/thread.hpp"

Description

wraps the C++ thread handle and provides some implementation details, which are then combined by the policy template

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ThreadWrapper()

ThreadWrapper ( )

inline

derived classes may create an inactive thread

Definition at line 175 of file thread.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

launchThread()

void launchThread ( tuple< INVO... > &&  invocation )

inline

actually launch the new thread. Deliberately the #threadImpl_ is created empty, to allow for complete initialisation of all the combined policy classes stacked on top

Warning

Start of the new thread syncs-with the return from std::thread ctor. Thus – in theory – initialising members of derived classes after constructing a non-empty std::thread object would be undefined behaviour. In practice however, this is more of a „theoretical“ problem, since the OS scheduler has a considerable latency, so that the code within the new thread typically starts executing with an delay of at least 100µs

Remarks

non the less, the thread-wrapper framework circumvents this possible undefined behaviour, by first creating the threadImpl_ empty, and only later move-assigning the std::thread.

Parameters

invocation

a tuple holding some invokable and possible arguments, together forming the threadFunction to be executed in the new thread.

Definition at line 201 of file thread.hpp.

invokedWithinThread()

bool invokedWithinThread

(

)

const

detect if the currently executing code runs within this thread

Note

implies get_id() != std::thread::id{} ==> it is running

detach_thread_from_wrapper()

void detach_thread_from_wrapper ( )

inline

allow to detach explicitly — independent from thread-function's state.

Warning

this function is borderline dangerous; it might be acceptable in a situation where the thread totally manages itself and the thread object is maintained in a unique_ptr. You must ensure that the thread function does not touch anything in the wrapper object after that point and only uses storage within its own scope.
