Detailed Description

A class for running several Thread objects simultaneously.

A ThreadList object is a Thread in and of itself. This allows the creation of tiered ThreadList objects by placing a lower-priority ThreadList inside of a higher-priority ThreadList.

Note:: DO NOT place a Thread in more than one ThreadList or more than once in a single ThreadList. DO NOT place a ThreadList inside of itself or one of its children. Also, DO NOT place the main_thread_list in another ThreadList. These WILL cause memory corruption (and are silly things to do in the first place).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ThreadList::ThreadList ( bool keep = false )

Constructor.

Parameters:

keep	If true, the ThreadList will continue to run even after it's empty, otherwise it will automatically destroy itself once all of its Thread objects have finished.

bool ThreadList::add_thread ( Thread * t )

Parameters:

t	A pointer to the Thread to be added.

bool ThreadList::loop ( ) [protected, virtual]

The main loop.

Reimplemented from Thread.
