Features

• POSIX based multithreading classes Classes
• GenericThread: implements the basic building block for a thread, just override the operator()() method and start with ThreadDispatcher::start()
• Mutex: a MUtual EXclussion mechanism class, implements lock/unlock.
• RWLock: our implementation of read/write locks.
• AtomicFlag: allows to have a shared boolean object, very useful for those times when you need a flag to be shared among threads.
• AtomicVar: is a template that can be use to have shared numeric values between threads, shared counters perhaps?
• Thread-safe data-structures
• SharedSet: template class that allows to implement thread-safe shared sets.
• SharedMap: template class that implements thread-safe shared maps.
• SharedVector: Allows to implement vectors that can be shared between threads.
• SharedQueue: A template that allows to implement shared queues between threads.
• Exception handling (this one is pretty primitive)
• GenericException: is the basic building block for all types of exceptions.
• MutexLockException: thrown when an attempt to lock a previously locked mutex is made, very handy!!!
• ThreadExecutionException: throws when an attempt to launch a thread fails.
• APNS (Apple© Push Notification Server) integration
• APNSNotificationThread: A thread that takes care of dispatching push notification messages to the APNS cloud, it only needs a queue of NotificationPayload objects and the mandatory certificates to do its magic, easy as eating a piece of cake.
• APNSFeedbackThread: still a work in progress but it is intended as an interface with the APNS feedback service, the one that tells you back if a delivery failed.
• Thread-safe logging facilities
• MTLogger: a mechanism that allows you to write logs to a single file from any thread concurrently while keeping the coherence and registering which thread originated the message.
