ACE_Thread_Adapter Class Reference

Converts a C++ function into a 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 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_Thread_Adapter::ACE_Thread_Adapter (  ACE_THR_FUNC    user_func, void *    arg, ACE_THR_C_FUNC    entry_point = (ACE_THR_C_FUNC) ace_thread_adapter, ACE_Thread_Manager *    thr_mgr = 0, ACE_Thread_Descriptor *    td = 0 )

Constructor.

ACE_Thread_Adapter::~ACE_Thread_Adapter (  void    )  [private]

Ensure that this object must be allocated on the heap.

Member Function Documentation

ACE_THR_FUNC_RETURN ACE_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. Implements ACE_Base_Thread_Adapter.

ACE_THR_FUNC_RETURN ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke_i (  void    )  [private, virtual]

Called by invoke, mainly here to separate the SEH stuff because SEH on Win32 doesn't compile with local vars with destructors.

ACE_INLINE ACE_Thread_Manager * ACE_Thread_Adapter::thr_mgr (  void    )

Accessor for the optional <Thread_Manager>.
