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.

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.

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.

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.

void Thread::set_pipeline_stage | ( | int | pipeline_stage | ) |
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).

bool Thread::start | ( | ThreadPriority | priority, |
bool | joinable | ||
) |
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.
