Thin wrapper class around std::thread to make your life easier!
The C++ std::thread has the problem that it can only call static
functions / methods. This class solves this
problem with an abstract run() method which acts as the thread.
Just inherit this class, implement your run() method and
then use start() to start the thread. You can use join() for
the thread to complete.
Include CppThread.h in your program. It's header-only.
Just overload run() which does the work in your thread:
class MyThread : public CppThread {
private:
// implement run which is doing all the work
void run() {
// Your magic worker here!
}
};
start() starts the thread and runs the method run().
If you need to wait for its completion then call join():
MyThread myThread;
myThread.start();
myThread.join();
To run demo.cpp just do cmake ., make and then ./demo.
To run demo.cpp just do cmake ., then start visual C++, open the solution, build it and then run Debug\demo.
That's it. Enjoy!
