Public Member Functions¶

PosixThread (int pri=0, size_t stack=0)
void signalThread (int signo)
Delivers a Posix signal to the current thread.

Static Public Member Functions¶

static void sigInstall (int signo)
Install a signal handler for use by threads and the OnSignal() event notification handler.

Protected Member Functions¶

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)

Additional Inherited Members¶

ost::PosixThread::PosixThread (int pri = 0, size_t stack = 0)¶

void ost::PosixThread::endTimer (void) [protected]¶

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.

pthread_attr_t* ost::PosixThread::getPthreadAttrPtr (void) [protected]¶

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

pthread_t ost::PosixThread::getPthreadId (void) [protected]¶

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

timeout_t ost::PosixThread::getTimer (void) const [protected]¶

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

Returns

virtual void ost::PosixThread::onDisconnect (void) [protected], [virtual]¶

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

virtual void ost::PosixThread::onException (void) [protected], [virtual]¶

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

virtual void ost::PosixThread::onHangup (void) [protected], [virtual]¶

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

virtual void ost::PosixThread::onPolling (void) [protected], [virtual]¶

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

virtual void ost::PosixThread::onSignal (int) [protected], [virtual]¶

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

Parameters

virtual void ost::PosixThread::onTimer (void) [protected], [virtual]¶

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

void ost::PosixThread::setSignal (int signo, bool active) [protected]¶

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

Parameters

void ost::PosixThread::setTimer (timeout_t timer, bool periodic = false) [protected]¶

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

Note

static void ost::PosixThread::sigInstall (int signo) [static]¶

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

Parameters

void ost::PosixThread::signalMain (signo_t signo) [inline], [protected]¶

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

Parameters

void ost::PosixThread::signalParent (signo_t signo) [inline], [protected]¶

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

Parameters

void ost::PosixThread::signalThread (int signo) [inline]¶

Delivers a Posix signal to the current thread.

Parameters

friend class Thread [friend]¶

friend class ThreadImpl [friend]¶
