class Thread

The Thread class encapsulates a thread of execution.

class Thread

Thread::GetThreadSignal	Returns the signal associated with the thread.
Thread::SetThreadSignal	Sets the signal associated with the thread.
Thread::SetThreadPriority	Sets the priority of a thread.
Thread::ThreadComplete	Indicates whether a thread has completed execution.

Thread(ThreadCallback *callback, void *cookie, uint32 stack = 0, Signal *signal = nullptr);

callback	The entry point for the thread.
cookie	A pointer to user-defined data that is passed to the thread's entry point.
stack	The thread's stack size in bytes. If this is 0, then the default stack size is used.
signal	The signal object to assign to the thread.

The Thread class defines a platform-independent thread object that can be used to achieve multithreaded execution. When a new Thread object is constructed, the entry function specified by the callback parameter begins executing immediately. The pointer passed into the cookie parameter is passed to the thread's entry function, which must have the following signature.

typedef void ThreadCallback(const Thread *, void *);

If the stack parameter is not zero, then it specifies the size of the stack allocated for the thread. Otherwise, the default stack size, as determined by the operating system, is used.

If the signal parameter is not nullptr, then it specifies a Signal object that is assigned to the thread. When a Thread object is destroyed and it has a Signal object assigned to it, the thread triggers signal 0 to indicate that the thread should exit.
