Multithreading within a class

griffenjam · 2001-03-02T10:23:09

I have a game object with a GameMain() in it, I would like to start a thread that just runs that function. I would like to keep it in the class, meaning I don''t want to have a non-class member function like this. ThreadFunc(...) { game_object.GameMain(); } I don''t like this, but my attempts to use send &GameMain for the function pointer have failed. Basicly I get an error saying that the game object func pointer doesn''t match a function pointer, which I understand, is there a work around, can I have some code?

Yup I agree

, I hope we have straightened out some things (probably we just messed them up

). And about Peterson''s algorithm, besides the fact that it doesn''t scale well for 2+ threads, it also uses busy-wait, which is a big no-no (since that means unneccessary thread-switches (and therefor context-switches)).
