CppThread

Super-thin wrapper class around std::thread as a demo how to use it.

Just inherit this class, implement your run() method and then use start() to start the thread. You can use join() for the thread to complete.

Usage

Include CppThread.h in your program. It's header-only.

Create your Thread class by inheriting CppThread

Just overload run() which does the work in your thread:

class MyThread : public CppThread {

private:
	// implement run which is doing all the work
	void run() {
	     // Your magic worker here!
	}
};

Run the Thread class

start() starts the thread and runs the method run(). If you need to wait for its completion then call join():

	MyThread myThread;
	myThread.start();
	myThread.join();

Demo program

Linux / Mac

To run demo.cpp just do cmake ., make and then ./demo.

Windows

To run demo.cpp just do cmake ., then start visual C++, open the solution, build it and then run Debug\demo.

That's it. Enjoy!
