Member Function Documentation#

current()#

static _< AAbstractThread > AThread::current ( )

static

Returns

current thread.

interrupt()#

void AThread::interrupt ( )

overridevirtual

Raises the interruption flag of the thread. In order to check whether thread interrupted use AThread::interruptionPoint() or AAbstractThread::isInterrupted().

Reimplemented from AAbstractThread.

interruptionPoint()#

static void AThread::interruptionPoint ( )

static

If the interruption flag is raised for the caller thread then flag is reset and AThread::Interrupted exception is thrown, efficiently stopping the task execution and safely freeing resources with C++'s RAII feature.

async, asyncX, AThreadPool::enqueue, AUI_ENTRY handle AThread::Interrupted, so throwing AThread::Interrupted is safe.

isInterrupted()#

bool AThread::isInterrupted ( )

overridevirtual

Returns

true if interrupt requested for this thread.

Reimplemented from AAbstractThread.

resetInterruptFlag()#

void AThread::resetInterruptFlag ( )

overridevirtual

Reimplemented from AAbstractThread.

setName()#

static void AThread::setName ( AString name )

inlinestaticnoexcept

Sets name of the current thread for debugger.

Parameters

name	new name of the thread

sleep()#

static void AThread::sleep ( std::chrono::milliseconds duration )

static

Parameters

duration

sleep duration.
