-> thread.e - the very basic way to setup a thread under v37+
MODULE 'dos/dos'
MODULE 'dos/dostags'
MODULE 'dos/dosextens'
MODULE 'utility/tagitem'
MODULE '*modules/geta4'
PROC main()
-> pointer to the thread process
DEF mythread:PTR TO process
-> store the global data pointer (a4) so the thread can later get this.
-> IMPORTANT: this must be done before any thread does a geta4().
-> to be safe, just do it at the begin of main(), as done here.
storea4()
-> create a thread process
IF mythread:=CreateNewProc(
[
NP_ENTRY,{thread}, -> where the thread process begins
NP_NAME,'MyThread', -> the thread process name
TAG_DONE
])
ENDIF
Delay(50)
-> IMPORTANT: the main process may never end when threads are running.
-> In this small example, we simply wait a while, which is NOT RIGHT!!
Delay(50)
ENDPROC
PROC thread()
-> get the global data pointer, previously stored by the main process.
-> IMPORTANT: do this before using global variables or functioncalls.
geta4()
PrintF('Hello, it\as me, your newly created thread.\n')
PrintF('I stopped now\n')
ENDPROC
