◆ Create()

static auto Create ( FN &&  src,
ARGS &&...  args 
) -> ResultMemT<ThreadResultRef<decltype(src(std::forward<ARGS>(args)...))>>
static

Creates a reference to a thread with n arguments.

Parameters
[in]srcLambda or object with operator ().
[in]argsArguments for the function.
Template Parameters
BBehaviour for early thread cancellation.
FNType of function/lambda, deduced by the compiler.
ARGSParameter types.
Returns
OK on success.

◆ IsRunning()

Bool IsRunning ( ) const

Checks whether this thread is currently running. Will return false for a null reference. THREADSAFE.

Returns
False if the thread wasn't running anymore.

◆ Wait()

Bool Wait ( TimeValue  timeout = TIMEVALUE_INFINITE,
WAITMODE  mode = WAITMODE::DEFAULT 
) const

Waits until the referenced thread has been executed. As long as a thread hasn't been started it is considered not to have finished yet. Once it has run this will return immediately until you restart the thread.

Wait() might execute other jobs in the current queue until the one you are waiting for has finished or is timed out. Therefore you may never lock a shared resource another job might use as well and then wait. For one this could dead-lock and conceptually this would result in single-threaded performance.

If you call Wait() from within an enqueued job you must have started what you are waiting for. Otherwise Wait() will immediately return false because this would lead to a deadlock. The same applies if a thread tries to wait for itself.

Instead of waiting for a thread to start some action after it has finished you can subscribe to ObservableFinished(). This cannot dead-lock, is more efficient and can even be used to run the observer in a different queue. For example you can run a thread and register an observer for it that will run on the main thread's queue and updates the UI. THREADSAFE.

Parameters
[in]timeoutMaximum wait interval (or TIMEVALUE_INFINITE for no time-out).
[in]modeWAITMODE::DEFAULT by default. WAITMODE::RETURN_ON_CANCEL means that Wait() will return if the caller has been cancelled even if the condition has not been set yet.
Returns
True if successful, false if you try to wait inside an enqueued job or there is no job at all.

◆ GetResult()

Result<void> GetResult ( TimeValue  timeout = TIMEVALUE_INFINITE,
WAITMODE  mode = WAITMODE::DEFAULT 
) const

Waits until this thread has been executed and returns the result. THREADSAFE.

Parameters
[in]timeoutMaximum wait interval (or TIMEVALUE_INFINITE for no time-out).
[in]modeWAITMODE::DEFAULT by default. WAITMODE::RETURN_ON_CANCEL means that Wait() will return if the caller has been cancelled even if the condition has not been set yet.
Returns
OK on success.

◆ Cancel()

void Cancel ( )

Asks the thread to cancel execution. The call will not wait for the thread to cancel. THREADSAFE.

◆ IsCancelled()

Bool IsCancelled ( ) const

Checks if the thread should stop. A null reference will not be regarded as being cancelled. THREADSAFE.

Returns
True if the thread has been asked to cancel.

◆ CancelAndWait()

void CancelAndWait ( WAITMODE  mode = WAITMODE::DEFAULT)

Asks the thread to cancel execution and waits until it has finished. THREADSAFE.

Parameters
[in]modeWAITMODE::DEFAULT by default.

◆ Start()

Result<void> Start ( THREADPRIORITY  priority = THREADPRIORITY::NORMAL)

Starts a thread to execute this job's worker method (will add a reference and remove it when the object is no longer needed). If you try to start an already running thread this will fail and return an error.

Parameters
[in]priorityTHREADPRIORITY::NORMAL or THREADPRIORITY::BELOW for a background thread.
Returns
OK on success. Fails if the thread is already running or no more threads are available.

◆ ObservableFinished()

ObservableFinishedBase<INTERFACE> ObservableFinished ( )

ObservableFinished is an observable that is triggered after this job has been executed. THREADSAFE.

Returns
Custom observable.

◆ GetCurrentThread()

static StrongRef<const INTERFACE> GetCurrentThread ( )
static

Returns a pointer to the currently running thread. If you call this from a job or a thread you have created by using OS APIs a nullptr is returned. THREADSAFE.

Returns
This thread's ThreadInterface* or nullptr (worker, main or other OS thread)

◆ GetCurrentThreadCount()

static Int GetCurrentThreadCount ( )
static

Returns the number of worker threads for the current job context. This might be different from the actual CPU core or thread count. THREADSAFE.

Returns
Number of worker threads, guaranteed to be > 0.

◆ IsMainThread()

static Bool IsMainThread ( )
static

Checks if this thread is the main application thread. THREADSAFE.

Returns
True if this is the main application thread.

◆ GetCurrentThreadType() [1/2]

static THREADTYPE GetCurrentThreadType ( )
static

Returns information about the current thread. THREADSAFE.

Returns
See THREADTYPE.

◆ GetCurrentThreadType() [2/2]

static THREADTYPE GetCurrentThreadType ( Int threadIdentifier)
static

Returns information about the current thread. THREADSAFE.

Parameters
[out]threadIdentifierFor THREADTYPE::WORKER the the index of the worker thread is returned, for THREADTYPE::MAIN 0 is returned if it currently executes jobs. Otherwise this is an opaque identifier for the current thread.
Returns
See THREADTYPE.

◆ AssimilateAlienThread()

static Result<void> AssimilateAlienThread ( )
static

Allocates internal resources for an alien thread (CoreThread, unique thread index and so on). THREADSAFE.

Returns
OK on success.

◆ IsCurrentThreadCancelled() [1/2]

static Bool IsCurrentThreadCancelled ( const ThreadInterface optionalThread = nullptr)
static

Checks if the currently running thread (or job) should stop. Works for jobs and threads. THREADSAFE.

Parameters
[in]optionalThreadOptional thread which should also be checked for cancellation.
Returns
True if the thread has been asked to cancel.

◆ IsCurrentThreadCancelled() [2/2]

static Bool IsCurrentThreadCancelled ( const ThreadRefTemplate< INTERFACE > &  optionalThread)
static

Checks if the currently running thread (or job) should stop. Works for jobs and threads. THREADSAFE.

Parameters
[in]optionalThreadThread which should also be checked for cancellation.
Returns
True if the thread has been asked to cancel.

◆ Run() [1/2]

static MAXON_WARN_UNUSED auto Run ( FN &&  src,
