A way to destroy “thread” class

Question

Here is a skeleton of my thread class:

class MyThread {
public:
   virutal ~MyThread();

   // will start thread with svc() as thread entry point
   void start()         


        

Answer 1

You could havee somthing like this in your svc method

while (alive){ //loops}
//free resources after while.

In your destructor, you could set the alive member to false. Or, you could have a pleaseDie() method, that sets the alive member to false, and can be called from the outside requesting the Thread instance to stop processing.

void
Thread::pleaseDie()
{

 this->alive = false;
}
