PosixThread (int pri=0, size_t stack=0)

void signalThread (int signo)

Delivers a Posix signal to the current thread.

static void sigInstall (int signo)

Install a signal handler for use by threads and the OnSignal() event notification handler.

void signalParent (signo_t signo)

In the Posix version of Common C++, this can be used to send a signal into the parent thread of the current object. void signalMain (signo_t signo)

In the Posix version of Common C++, this can be used to send a signal into the main application thread. virtual void onTimer (void)

A derivable method to call when a SIGALRM is being delivered to a specific thread. virtual void onHangup (void)

A derived method to handle hangup events being delivered to a specific thread. virtual void onException (void)

A derived method to call when a SIGABRT is being delivered to a specific thread. virtual void onDisconnect (void)

A derived method to call when a SIGPIPE is being delivered to a specific thread. virtual void onPolling (void)

A derived method to handle asynchronous I/O requests delivered to the specified thread. virtual void onSignal (int)

A derivable method to call for delivering a signal event to a specified thread. void setTimer (timeout_t timer, bool periodic=false)

Used to specify a timeout event that can be delivered to the current thread via SIGALRM. timeout_t getTimer (void) const

Gets the time remaining for the current threads timer before it expires. void endTimer (void)

Terminates the timer before the timeout period has expired. void setSignal (int signo, bool active)

Used to enable or disable a signal within the current thread. pthread_attr_t * getPthreadAttrPtr (void)

Access to pthread_attr structure this allows setting/modifying pthread attributes not covered in the platform independant Thread constructor, e.g. pthread_t getPthreadId (void)

Get pthread_t of underlying posix thread (useful for debugging/logging).

class ThreadImpl

class Thread

Terminates the timer before the timeout period has expired.

This prevents the timer from sending it's SIGALRM and makes the timer available to other threads.

Access to pthread_attr structure this allows setting/modifying pthread attributes not covered in the platform independant Thread constructor, e.g.

contention scope or scheduling policy

Get pthread_t of underlying posix thread (useful for debugging/logging).

Gets the time remaining for the current threads timer before it expires.

Returns: time remaining before timer expires in milliseconds.

A derived method to call when a SIGPIPE is being delivered to a specific thread.

A derived method to call when a SIGABRT is being delivered to a specific thread.

A derived method to handle hangup events being delivered to a specific thread.

A derived method to handle asynchronous I/O requests delivered to the specified thread.

A derivable method to call for delivering a signal event to a specified thread.

Parameters: - posix signal id.

A derivable method to call when a SIGALRM is being delivered to a specific thread.

Used to enable or disable a signal within the current thread.

Parameters: signo posix signal id.

active set to true to enable.

Used to specify a timeout event that can be delivered to the current thread via SIGALRM.

When the timer expires, the onTimer() method is called for the thread. At present, only one thread timer can be active at any given time. On some operating systems (including Linux) a timer can be active on each thread.

Parameters: timer timeout in milliseconds.

periodic should the timer be periodic.

Note: currently, periodic timers are only available on systems with a working setitimer call.

Install a signal handler for use by threads and the OnSignal() event notification handler.

Parameters: signo posix signal id.

In the Posix version of Common C++, this can be used to send a signal into the main application thread.

Parameters: signo a posix signal id.

In the Posix version of Common C++, this can be used to send a signal into the parent thread of the current object.

Parameters: signo a posix signal id.

Delivers a Posix signal to the current thread.

Parameters: signo a posix signal id.
