Inheritance diagram for jm::Thread:

Public Member Functions
	Thread ()
	Default constructor.
	~Thread () override
	Destructor.
void	start ()
	This method starts the thread.
void	sleep (int64 duration)
	This method puts the thread to sleep and wakes it up after the specified time has elapsed. The thread can also be woken up externally before the time has elapsed.
void	sleep ()
	This method puts the thread to sleep. The thread must be externally awakened.
void	wakeUp ()
	If the thread is sleeping, it will be woken up by calling this method.
void	interrupt ()
	This method terminates the execution of this thread. It waits for the thread to finish execution ???
bool	isAlive ()
	This method should be called regularly to check if the thread should be terminated. If this method returns false, the thread should be terminated.
void	setName (const String &name)
	Set the name of the thread.
Public Member Functions inherited from jm::Object
	Object () noexcept
	Constructor.
virtual	~Object () noexcept
	Destructor.
void	release () noexcept
	Decreases the reference counter and releases the object immediately when the reference counter becomes 0.
Object *	retain () noexcept
	Increases the reference counter of this object by 1.
Object *	autorelease () noexcept
	Same function as release(), but releases the object with a delay if the reference counter is 0. AutoreleasePool::drain() must be called in the to release the object.
int32	referenceCount () const noexcept
	Returns the value of the reference counter.
virtual bool	equals (const Object *other) const
	Comparison of objects.
virtual String	displayName () const
	Returns the display name of the object intended to present to a user.
virtual void	printDiffInfo (DiffOperation operation, Object *other) const
	Output method for outputting the diff results for the diff algorithm.
void	setHighBit (bool status) noexcept
bool	highBit () const noexcept

Static Public Member Functions
static bool	isMainThread ()
	Checks if the current thread is the main thread.

Protected Member Functions
void	lock ()
	This method blocks this thread from accessing other threads to mark a critical section that must not be interrupted or to avoid race conditions.
void	unlock ()
	This method releases the lock held by this thread, allowing other threads to access the critical section. This is used to mark a critical section that must not be interrupted or to avoid race conditions.

Detailed Description

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Thread()

jm::Thread::Thread

(

)

Default constructor.

~Thread()

jm::Thread::~Thread ( )

override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

interrupt()

void jm::Thread::interrupt

(

)

This method terminates the execution of this thread. It waits for the thread to finish execution ???

isAlive()

bool jm::Thread::isAlive

(

)

This method should be called regularly to check if the thread should be terminated. If this method returns false, the thread should be terminated.

Returns

Returns true if the thread should continue running.

isMainThread()

static bool jm::Thread::isMainThread ( )

static

Checks if the current thread is the main thread.

lock()

void jm::Thread::lock ( )

protected

This method blocks this thread from accessing other threads to mark a critical section that must not be interrupted or to avoid race conditions.

setName()

void jm::Thread::setName

(

const String &

name

)

Set the name of the thread.

Note

This method is intended for help debugging.

sleep() [1/2]

void jm::Thread::sleep

(

)

This method puts the thread to sleep. The thread must be externally awakened.

sleep() [2/2]

void jm::Thread::sleep

(

int64

duration

)

This method puts the thread to sleep and wakes it up after the specified time has elapsed. The thread can also be woken up externally before the time has elapsed.

Parameters

duration

The time duration (in milliseconds) for which the thread should sleep.

start()

void jm::Thread::start

(

)

This method starts the thread.

unlock()

void jm::Thread::unlock ( )

protected

This method releases the lock held by this thread, allowing other threads to access the critical section. This is used to mark a critical section that must not be interrupted or to avoid race conditions.

wakeUp()

void jm::Thread::wakeUp

(

)

If the thread is sleeping, it will be woken up by calling this method.
