2.2 Class Packages of the Threads Module
The Threads Module Reference Guide consists of the following class packages:
Execution Tracing classes enable you to monitor the runtime behavior of your applications. Trace output messages can be filtered at both compile-time and runtime for maximum flexibility.
The Functor package (inspired by Rich Hickey in "Callbacks in C++ Using Template Functors,") supply interfaces for invocation that are independent of the actual functions. You can combine the functor classes with others in Threads Module to transform your existing single-threaded code into multithreaded code. This package is divided into two subpackages: the Functor List and the Functor Map.
The Interthread Communication package contains value and pointer-based queue and stack classes that use producer-consumer synchronization semantics to coordinate multithread access.
The Smart Pointer package includes a generic singleton template class, a simple pointer wrapper, and two varieties of thread-safe reference-counted pointers.
The Synchronization package includes a group of synchronization classes and a group of helper classes, called guard classes.
The Thread-compatible Exceptions package includes a simple framework for handling exceptions at their point of occurrence and returning a string for display on a GUI or for logging to a file. Handlers can be set for unexpected and uncaught exceptions.
The Threading package contains prebuilt, fundamental threading classes, giving you a head-start on building portable, multithreaded applications.
