Member Function Documentation

void CVD::Thread::stop ( )

Tell the thread to stop.

This doesn't make the thread actually stop, it just causes shouldStop() to return true.

void CVD::Thread::join ( )

This blocks until the thread has actually terminated.

If the thread is infinite looping, this will block forever!
