TinyThread++ Fork

TinyThread++ is a lightweight and portable C++ threading library.

This repository is a simple fork of the project to keep doing maintenance on it for WkCore needs.

As TinyThread++, this project should remain compatible with old compilers, namely older than VS 2012, for use of Thread Objects when the compiler does not have the C++11 conform std::bind function ( and cannot easily support passing a Functor as the Thread function ).

Also to keep it lightweight, a very simple CMakeLists is used here ( and not the full fledged WkCMake ). Original Makefile is still there if you need it. Unit Tests are made with simplified custom unit test code ( and not a full fledged unit test library ).

TinyThread++ should still be cross-platform as much as possible. Current targets are :

• Windows
• Linux
• OSX
• Android
• iOS

To use this fork, you can :

• add it as a subdirectory in your cmake chain,
• add it as an Android Module in your NDK build chain,
• do it the old way (see below)

For more C++11 behavior ( with variadic templates, functional behavior, future, etc. ) WkCore is there to provide them, with a minimum requirement of compiling with VS2012

TinyThread++ v1.2

About

TinyThread++ is a minimalist, portable, threading library for C++, intended to make it easy to create multi threaded C++ applications.

The library is closesly modeled after the C++11 standard, but only a subset is implemented at the moment.

See the documentation in the doc/html directory for more information.

Using TinyThread++

To use TinyThread++ in your own project, just add tinythread.cpp and tinythread.h to your project. In your own code, do:

#include <tinythread.h>
using namespace tthread;

If you wish to use the fast_mutex class, inlude fast_mutex.h:

#include <fast_mutex.h>

Building the test programs

From the test folder, issue one of the following commands:

Linux, Mac OS X, OpenSolaris etc:

make (you may need to use gmake on some systems)

Windows/MinGW:

mingw32-make

Windows/MS Visual Studio:

nmake /f Makefile.msvc
