Thread is // Chrome's message-loop based Thread abstraction, and if you are a // thread running in the browser, there will likely be assumptions // that your thread will have an associated message loop. // // This is a simple thread interface that backs to a native operating system // thread. You should use this only when you want a thread that does not have // an associated MessageLoop. Unittesting is the best example of this. // // The simplest interface to use is DelegateSimpleThread, which will create // a new thread, and execute the Delegate's virtual Run() in this new thread // until it has completed, exiting the thread. // // NOTE: You *MUST* call Join on the thread to clean up the underlying thread // resources. You are also responsible for destructing the SimpleThread object. // It is invalid to destroy a SimpleThread while it is running, or without // Start() having been called (and a thread never created). The Delegate // object should live as long as a DelegateSimpleThread. // // Thread Safety: A SimpleThread is not completely thread safe. It is safe to // access it from the creating thread or from the newly created thread. This // implies that the creator thread should be the thread that calls Join. // // Example: // class MyThreadRunner : public DelegateSimpleThread::Delegate { ... }; // MyThreadRunner runner; // DelegateSimpleThread thread(&runner, "good_name_here"); // thread.Start(); // // Start will return after the Thread has been successfully started and // // initialized. The newly created thread will invoke runner->Run(), and // // run until it returns. // thread.Join(); // Wait until the thread has exited. You *MUST* Join! // // The SimpleThread object is still valid, however you may not call Join // // or Start again. #ifndef BASE_THREADING_SIMPLE_THREAD_H_ #define BASE_THREADING_SIMPLE_THREAD_H_ #include <stddef.h> #include <string> #include <vector> #include "base/base_export.h" #include "base/compiler_specific.h" #include "base/containers/queue.h" #include "base/macros.h" #include "base/synchronization/lock.h" #include "base/synchronization/waitable_event.h" #include "base/threading/platform_thread.h" namespace base { // This is the base SimpleThread.
