Detailed Description

Simple threads.

Threads cannot be created, only runnable objects can be submitted for execution by a thread. Threads are pooled to avoid creation/destruction of threads as much as possible.

Member Function Documentation

m()

Mutex * Gecode::Support::Thread::m ( void )

static

Mutex for synchronization.

run()

void Gecode::Support::Thread::run ( Runnable * r )

inlinestatic

Construct a new thread and run r.

After r terminates, r is deleted. After that, the thread terminates.

If the operating system does not support any threads, throws an exception of type Support::OperatingSystemError.

Definition at line 177 of file thread.hpp.

sleep()

void Gecode::Support::Thread::sleep ( unsigned int ms )

inlinestatic

Put current thread to sleep for ms milliseconds.

Definition at line 156 of file thread.hpp.

npu()

unsigned int Gecode::Support::Thread::npu ( void )

inlinestatic

Return number of processing units (1 if information not available).

Definition at line 164 of file thread.hpp.

acquireGlobalMutex()

void Gecode::Support::Thread::acquireGlobalMutex ( Mutex * m )

static

acquire mutex m globally and possibly lock

releaseGlobalMutex()

void Gecode::Support::Thread::releaseGlobalMutex ( Mutex * m )

static

release globally acquired mutex m
