A lightweight cross platform library for thread management

Platforms

• Linux
• MacOS
• Windows

Installation

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..  
cmake --build .
test (optional)

Documentation

• Thread

• Detaches a thread:
  `int thd_thread_detach(thd_thread* thread, thd_thread_method method, void* data)``

• Joins a thread:
  int thd_thread_join(thd_thread* thread);

• Mutex

• Initializes a mutex:
  int thd_mutex_init(thd_mutex* mutex);

• Locks a mutex:
  int thd_mutex_lock(thd_mutex* mutex);

• Tries to lock a mutex:
  int thd_mutex_trylock(thd_mutex* mutex);

• Unlocks a mutex:
  int thd_mutex_unlock(thd_mutex* mutex);

• Destroy a mutex:
  int thd_mutex_destroy(thd_mutex* mutex);

• Condition

• Initializes a condition:
  int thd_condition_init(thd_condition* cond);

• Restarts one of the threads that are waiting on the condition:
  int thd_condition_signal(thd_condition* cond);

• Unlocks the mutex and waits for the condition to be signalled:
  int thd_condition_wait(thd_condition* cond, thd_mutex* mutex);

• Destroy a condition:
  int thd_condition_destroy(thd_condition* cond);

Example

• thd interface
• pthread interface

Note: On Windows, you need to add pthreadwin folder in the header search path to use the pthread interface.
