Thread Classes

Module Description

Special classes for multi-threading. #include <uLib/Thread.h>

SimpleThread is a simple wrap supporting CreateThread(),
Thread is an advanced kill-safe thread that requires real S.E.H.

The Thread class is based on code by Jeff Richter 1995, published in MSJ March 1996.

Note: Thread uses _beginthreadex() to start the thread, in order to be safe(r)
with the multithread C runtime library. Ergo, end your thread function by returning,
never by ExitThread(), and never kill a Thread with TerminateThread(),
use Thread::Stop() from the controller, which calls Thread::Kill() if necessary.

Note

Thread requires the /EHa compiler switch to perform stack unwinding correctly.
