ACE_OS_Thread_Adapter Class Reference

Converts a C++ function into a function <ace_thread_adapter> function that can be called from a thread creation routine (e.g., <pthread_create> or <_beginthreadex>) that expects an extern "C" entry point. This class also makes it possible to transparently provide hooks to register a thread with an <ACE_Thread_Manager>. More...

Detailed Description

Converts a C++ function into a function <ace_thread_adapter> function that can be called from a thread creation routine (e.g., <pthread_create> or <_beginthreadex>) that expects an extern "C" entry point. This class also makes it possible to transparently provide hooks to register a thread with an <ACE_Thread_Manager>.

This class is used in <ACE_OS::thr_create>. In general, the thread that creates an object of this class is different from the thread that calls <invoke> on this object. Therefore, the <invoke> method is responsible for deleting itself.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_OS_Thread_Adapter::ACE_OS_Thread_Adapter ACE_THR_FUNC    user_func,
void *    arg,
ACE_THR_C_FUNC    entry_point = (ACE_THR_C_FUNC) ace_thread_adapter
 

Constructor.

ACE_OS_Thread_Adapter::~ACE_OS_Thread_Adapter void    [private]
 

Ensure that this object must be allocated on the heap.


Member Function Documentation

void * ACE_OS_Thread_Adapter::invoke void    [virtual]
 

Execute the <user_func_> with the <arg>.

This function deletes <this>, thereby rendering the object useless after the call returns.

Reimplemented from ACE_Base_Thread_Adapter.
