Detailed Description

public interface ThreadFactory

An object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories removes hardwiring of calls to new Thread, enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc.

The simplest implementation of this interface is just:

class SimpleThreadFactory : public ThreadFactory { public: Thread* newThread( Runnable* r ) { return new Thread(r); } }

The Executors.defaultThreadFactory() method provides a more useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context to known values before returning it.

Member Function Documentation

virtual decaf::lang::Thread* decaf::util::concurrent::ThreadFactory::newThread ( decaf::lang::Runnable *  r )

pure virtual

Constructs a new Thread.

Implementations may also initialize priority, name, daemon status, ThreadGroup, etc. The pointer passed is still owned by the caller and is not deleted by the Thread object. The caller owns the returned Thread object and must delete it when finished.

Parameters

r	A pointer to a Runnable instance to be executed by new Thread instance returned.

Returns

constructed thread, or NULL if the request to create a thread is rejected the caller owns the returned pointer.
