Thread DataSlot

The Thread class exposes AllocateNamedDa taSlot() and AllocateDataSlo t()
methods which allow allocating memory for thread-specific data. How is
this different from encapsulating each running thread in a class and
using that class to store the data?

The difference is in the "thread specific data" ... By wrapping your
thread in class you do not have "thread specific data".

Bram,

The members of a class can be accessed by any thread. Encapsulating a
running thread in a class doesn't prevent other threads from accessing
the members of that class. Of course you could provide a loose
enforcement by simply making sure you don't access that class from
another thread. Contrast that with thread local storage which strictly
enforces the coupling of data to a specific thread. There may be cases
where you want multiple threads executing code in the same class, but
have their own copy of data to work with.

Having trouble with my first forays into threads. Basically, the threads don't seem to be working in parallel (or you might say are blocking). I've boiled my problems to the following short code block and ensuing output. Seems like the output should be all interleaved and of course it's not. Running Python 2.2 from ActiveState on Windows XP (also doesn't work on Windows 2000). Thanks in advance! adeger

Hi I have following problem: I'm creating two threads who are performing some tasks. When one thread finished I would like to restart her again (e.g. new job). Following example demonstrates that. Problem is that when program is started many threads are created (see output section), when only two should be running at any time. Can you please help me to identify me where the problem is? Best regards

Hi all, I've got a server that handles a relatively high number of concurrent transactions (on the magnitude of 1000's per second). Client applications establish socket connections with the server. Data is sent and received over these connections using the asynchronous model. The server is currently in beta testing. Sporadically over the course of the day, I'll observe the thread count on the process (via perfmon) start climbing....

Hi all, A question from someone on a website got me thinking about this, and I wondered if anyone could explain this. A System.Threading.Timer object is garbage collected if it has no references to it. But what about threads? If I start a new thread that only does 1+1, is it garbage collected after that? If so, do all threads get garbage collected eventually that are 'done'? And if not, why not? Are there references to the thread that...

Hi, I start a new thread (previous one was "thread timing") because I have isolated my problem. It has nothing to do with calling unmanaged C++ code (I removed it in a test application). I have a thread "_itTaskThread" running. The application is listening on a TCP port. It accepts 2 connection from a client. I simulate a crash on the client side (using "Debug->StopDebugging").

I have noticed how the thread I created just stops running. I have added several exceptions to the thread System.Threading.SynchronizationLockException System.Threading.ThreadAbortException System.Threading.ThreadInterruptedException System.Threading.ThreadStateException to see if I could get more information about why the thread stops running but that code is never executed. Any ideas on how I can debug this?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
