🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

A class for managing threads. That's the whole vibe, no cap.

So like — this class hands you a portable framework around all the tasks of instantiating, starting, stopping and joining threads. Instantiate, start, stop, join. The whole little life cycle. 🫶

And the way that it wraps the underlying native thread-handling toolkit in a transparent manner?? Chef's kiss. It means multiplatform threads programming is straightforward for the application programmer — that's you, bestie. You get to just write your code and not think about which platform is doing what under the hood. Main character energy, lowkey. ✨

🧚 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🧚

💜 SbThread::SbThread (cc_thread * thread) [inline], [protected]

Protected constructor handling the internal thread ADT. She's protected, so she's not out here for just anybody — she handles the internal stuff. 🙈

See also: SbThread::create

Referenced by create(), destroy(), and join().

💜 SbThread::~SbThread (void ) [inline], [protected]

Destructor. The goodbye moment. 😭

🔥 Member Function Documentation 🔥

⭐ SbThread * SbThread::create (void *(* func )(void *), void * closure) [inline], [static]

This function creates a new thread, or returns NULL on failure. That's it, that's the deal — if it doesn't work out, you get NULL, no dramatic error, just NULL. 💀

References SbThread().

⭐ void SbThread::destroy (SbThread * thread) [inline], [static]

This function destroys a thread. Bye babe. 👋

References SbThread().

⭐ SbBool SbThread::join (void ** retval = 0L) [inline]

This function waits on the death of the given thread, returning the thread's return value at the location pointed to by retval. So you just sit there patiently until the thread is done, and then you get her final answer handed to you through retval. Not me waiting on a thread like it's a text back. 😭

⭐ SbBool SbThread::join (SbThread * thread, void ** retval = 0L) [inline], [static]

This function waits on the death of the given thread, returning the thread's return value at the location pointed to by retval. Same energy as the other join, but this one's the static version and you pass the thread in yourself. Same patience, same retval handoff. 🫶

And that's the whole page, bestie!! This was Coin, Version 2.5.0, SbThread(3), and yes she's a library function manual girlie through and through. Go forth and thread responsibly. Mwah. 💋
