Additional Inherited Members | |
Public Attributes inherited from OFObject | |
Class | isa |
The class of the object. | |
A class which provides portable threads.
To use it, you should create a new class derived from it and reimplement main.
+ (OFThread *) currentThread |
Returns the current thread.
- (void) handleTermination |
This routine is exectued when the thread's main method has finished executing or terminate has been called.
- (id) initWithObject: | (id) | object |
Initializes an already allocated thread with the specified object.
object | An object which is passed for use in the main method or nil |
- (id) join |
Joins a thread.
- (id) main |
The main routine of the thread. You need to reimplement this!
It can access the object passed to the threadWithObject or initWithObject method using the instance variable named object.
+ (OFThread *) mainThread |
Returns the main thread.
+ (id) objectForTLSKey: | (OFTLSKey*) | key |
Returns the object for the specified Thread Local Storage key.
The returned object is not retained and autoreleased for performance reasons!
key | The Thread Local Storage key |
- (OFRunLoop *) runLoop |
Returns the run loop for the thread.
+ (void) setObject: | (id) | object | |
forTLSKey: | (OFTLSKey*) | key | |
Sets the Thread Local Storage for the specified key.
The specified object is first retained and then the object stored before is released. You can specify nil as object if you want the old object to be released and don't want any new object for the TLS key.
key | The Thread Local Storage key |
object | The object the Thread Local Storage key will be set to |

Suspends execution of the current thread for the specified time interval.
seconds | The number of seconds to sleep |
+ (void) sleepUntilDate: | (OFDate*) | date |
Suspends execution of the current thread until the specified date.
date | The date to wait for |
+ (void) terminateWithObject: | (id) | object |

object | The object which the terminated thread will return |
+ (instancetype) thread |
