## Detailed Description

Object that runs in its own thread.

The implementor of the derived class is supposed to provide the implementation for the pure virtual run method. The public interface of XFcThreadObject is available to external agents so that they can manage the state of XFcThreadObject object.

See also:
  XFcThreadObject::run

Note:
  It is possible that some platforms do not have thread support.

  Using threads generally slows down some systems.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual XFCIMPORT XFcThreadObject::~XFcThreadObject | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Virtual destructor.

XFCIMPORT XFcThreadObject::XFcThreadObject | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

| Protected constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

XFCIMPORT INT XFcThreadObject::create | ( |  | ) |

| Creates thread and starts running it immediately.

void XFcThreadObject::getTls | ( |  | ) | `[private]`

| Stores handle to the system core of the current thread. Note: Implementation and need for this operation is platform specific.

virtual INT32 XFcThreadObject::run | ( |  | ) | `[protected, pure virtual]`

void XFcThreadObject::runThread | ( |  | ) | `[private]`

| Executes the thread.

void XFcThreadObject::setTls | ( |  | ) | `[private]`

| Sets the handle to the system core on the current thread. Note: Implementation and need for this operation is platform specific.

XFCIMPORT INT32 XFcThreadObject::threadEntry | ( | void * |  | ) | `[static, protected]`

| Thread creation.

XFCIMPORT INT32 XFcThreadObject::waitDeath | ( |  | ) |

| Waits the thread to end and returns the exit code.

## Member Data Documentation

XFcThread* XFcThreadObject::mThread`[protected]`

| Actual thread object.

XFcSystemCore* XFcThreadObject::mXfc`[private]`

| Handle to the system core for this thread. Note: Use and need for this field is platform specific.
