 Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2005 1:47 pm Post subject: multi-platform thread API wrapper |
 |
|
I am familiar with ACE but a bit daunted by its size. Does anybody know
whether there are other well established wrapper libraries providing an
abstraction on top of the various threads API (POSIX, Windows) and the
associated synchronization facilities?
Thank You,
Laurent Oget

boost (www.boost.org) provides a threading library, which currently runs on
MacOS, systems that support pthreads, and Windows.

boost threads are fairly popular

ACE is the only one that I know of. If you want to go to a lower level,
you can get the POSIX routines for Windows by using the pthreads-win32
library, downloadable from RedHat. You can also swipe things out of ACE to
make smaller libaries, since it is open source. The POSA2 book
("PATTERN-ORIENTED SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE, Volume 2) by Schmidt, et al. has
most of the design patterns for ACE.

IIRC ACE is a portable communication library, so it does a lot more |
than just threading. I know of two libraries that wrap both POSIX and
Win32 threading, Boost and wxWidgets. wxWidgets is also a lot more
than just threading, and you need to compile the whole thing. With
Boost however it should be easy to use just the threads without
bothering about the rest.

Try Boost.Thread. It provides a very good C++ interface for dealing with
threads. The only problem is that it is currently being rewritten and
there are serious problems with the current implementation of the
read-write lock.

Would you like to look at this well-known article for design
alternatives?
