JThread
The JThread package provides some classes to make use of threads easy on different platforms. The classes are actually rather simple wrappers around existing thread implementations.
The current version is 1.3.3. You can take a look at the ChangeLog, or browse previous versions and development code at GitHub.
Features
The package contains classes JThread and JMutex, which (obviously) represent a thread and a mutex. For unix-like platforms, the class implementations use the pthread library. On an MS-Windows platform, native Win32 threads are used.
What's the price?
The library is totally FREE!
Download
The library itself:
- In '.tar.gz' format: jthread-1.3.3.tar.gz
- In '.tar.bz2' format: jthread-1.3.3.tar.bz2
- In '.zip' format: jthread-1.3.3.zip
There is a manual included in the library, but you can also view it on-line in PDF format at jthread.readthedocs.io
ThreadStarted immediately. The Start function blocks until that function has been called. This way, when the Start function returns, we can be really sure that our own Thread implementation is called.
