Detailed Description
A thread; that is, a lightweight process.
This is an abstract base class; to use it, you must subclass from it and redefine thread_main().
The thread itself will keep a reference count on the Thread object while it is running; when the thread returns from its root function, the Thread object will automatically be destructed if no other pointers are referencing it.

( |
const string & |
name, |
|

|
) |
| [protected] |
Creates a new Thread object, but does not immediately start executing it.
This gives the caller a chance to store it in a PT(Thread) object, if desired, before the thread gets a chance to terminate and destruct itself.
Call start() to begin thread execution.
The name should be unique for each thread (though this is not enforced, and not strictly required). The sync_name can be shared between multiple different threads; threads that run synchronously with each other should be given the same sync_name, for the benefit of PStats.

| void Thread::consider_yield |
( |

[inline, static] |
Possibly suspends the current thread for the rest of the current epoch, if it has run for enough this epoch.
This is especially important for the simple thread implementation, which relies on cooperative yields like this.

| int Thread::get_current_pipeline_stage |

[inline, static] |
Returns the integer pipeline stage associated with the current thread.
This is the same thing as get_current_thread()->get_pipeline_stage(), but it may be faster to retrieve in some contexts.

| Thread * Thread::get_current_thread |
( |
| ) |
[inline, static] |
Returns a pointer to the currently-executing Thread object.
If this is called from the main thread, this will return the same value as get_main_thread().
This will always return some valid Thread pointer. It will never return NULL, even if the current thread was spawned outside of Panda's threading system, although all non-Panda threads will return the exact same Thread pointer.

This name collects threads into "sync groups", which are expected to run synchronously. This is mainly used for the benefit of PStats; threads with the same sync name can be ticked all at once via the thread_tick() call.

Returns true if Panda is currently compiled for "simple threads", which is to say, cooperative context switching only, reducing the need for quite so many critical section protections.
This is not necessarily the opposite of "true threads", since one possible implementation of simple threads is via true threads with mutex protection to ensure only one runs at a time.

Specifies the Pipeline stage number associated with this thread.
The default stage is 0 if no stage is specified otherwise.
This must be a value in the range [0 .. pipeline->get_num_stages() - 1]. It specifies the values that this thread observes for all pipelined data. Typically, an application thread will leave this at 0, but a render thread may set it to 1 or 2 (to operate on the previous frame's data, or the second previous frame's data).

Starts the thread executing.
It is only valid to call this once.
The thread will begin executing its thread_main() function, and will terminate when thread_main() returns.
priority is intended as a hint to the relative importance of this thread. This may be ignored by the thread implementation.
joinable should be set true if you intend to call join() to wait for the thread to terminate, or false if you don't care and you will never call join(). Note that the reference count on the Thread object is incremented while the thread itself is running, so if you just want to fire and forget a thread, you may pass joinable = false, and never store the Thread object. It will automatically destruct itself when it finishes.
The return value is true if the thread is successfully started, false otherwise.
