  Fields

· nThread

Summary  |  Top
   private NativeThread nThread

The java.lang.Thread this Janos thread is implemented on top of.

This is just a cheap hack until we get the native support working correctly.


· obj

Summary  |  Top
   private Object obj

Per-thread state.

This is part of the NodeOS spec. Probably doesn't need to be part of the Java-level interface (users of this should just subclass Janos Thread).


· tPool

Summary  |  Top
   private final ThreadPool tPool

The ThreadPool this thread is a part of.


  Constructors

· Thread

Summary  |  Top

   Thread(ThreadPool tPool) 

For creating an implicit thread.

All thread constructors are package private.



· Thread

Summary  |  Top
   Thread(ThreadPool tPool, 
          Runnable r) 

For creating an explicit thread.

All thread constructors are package private.



  Methods

· setName

Summary  |  Top

· run

Summary  |  Top

· getFlow

Summary  |  Top

· yieldTo

Summary  |  Top
   public static void yieldTo(Thread yieldTo) 

The mighty directed yield.

The scheduler may honor the argument. Or it may laugh at your suggestion and put the target thread in a black hole just to spite you.

Parameter Description
yieldTo the thread that should be run in deference to the current thread.



· yield

Summary  |  Top
   public static void yield() 

An undirected yield.

Equivalent to yield(null).
