Module Thread

Description

This module contains classes and functions for interacting and synchronizing with threads.

Note

For convenience some of the classes here are emulated (and are thus available) when threads are not supported.

Some of the classes that have such fallbacks are: Condition, Fifo, Local, Mutex, MutexKey and Queue.

Constant MUTEX_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LOCKS

constant Thread.MUTEX_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LOCKS

Description

Recognition constant for support of shared locks.

If this symbol exists and is not 0 then the Mutex class supports shared locks (ie has Mutex()->shared_lock() et al).
