You can either subclass and override GThread::threadMain or call the create method with a method. Beware of reference counting and threads. If circular references exist between GThread subclasses then neither class will ever be deallocated. Also, dropping all pointers (and causing deallocation) of a GThread does NOT stop the underlying process.

Parameters: proc  The global or static function for the threadMain() const std::string& G3D::GThread::name (  )  [inline] Returns thread name. void G3D::ReferenceCountedObject::ReferenceCountedObject_zeroWeakPointers (  )  [inline, inherited] Automatically called immediately before the object is deleted. This is not called from the destructor because it needs to be invoked before the subclass destructor. bool G3D::GThread::running (  )  Returns true if threadMain is currently executing. bool G3D::GThread::start (  )  Starts the thread and executes threadMain(). Returns false if the thread failed to start (either because it was already started or because the OS refused). void G3D::GThread::terminate (  )  Terminates the thread without notifying or waiting for a cancelation point. virtual void G3D::GThread::threadMain (  )  [pure virtual] Overriden by the thread implementor. void G3D::GThread::waitForCompletion (  )  Waits for the thread to finish executing.

Do not use or explicitly manipulate this value--its type may change in the future and is not part of the supported API. _WeakPtrLinkedList* G3D::ReferenceCountedObject::ReferenceCountedObject_weakPointer [inherited] Linked list of all weak pointers that reference this (some may be on the stack!). Do not use or explicitly manipulate this value. The documentation for this class was generated from the following file: GThread.h Hosted by
