ZThread
ZThread is an advanced object-oriented threading and synchronization library, implemented in C++ for POSIX, MacOS, and Win32 systems. It provides an excellent and powerful abstraction from native threads. It includes interruptible thread objects and several other synchronization control objects.

Changes: A bug in ConcurrentExecutor/PoolExecutor has been fixed. Cancel() is optional, as it should be.
- 01 Aug 2003 11:01
Changes: New functionality for Executors (optional waiting and task grouping), improvements to the Thread interface (optional waiting, no need to distinguish between daemon and non-daemon threads). ThreadLocal improvements and CountedPtr improvements. In general, things have undergone an overhaul resulting in a much more usable interface.

Recent commentsZthreads on Mac OS X
I created a simple C++ program on Macbook Pro (Leopard
10.5.6) to play with the ZThreads open source framework. I
downloaded the ZThread 2.3.2 source from sourceforge and
compiled it (eg.. ./configure -> make -> make install). I
built my test application using Eclipse and linked the
ZThread.la library into my application. The application
compiles/links successfully but when I try run my application
within the Eclipse IDE, I get the following errors:
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found:
__MPIsFullyInitialized
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libZThread-2.3.2.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace
dyld: Symbol not found: __MPIsFullyInitialized
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libZThread-2.3.2.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace
Any ideas on what could be causing these errors????
Re: Won't Compile
See diffs required here:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zthread/zthread/zthread-gcc4.patch
I've done them and it compiles fine on g++ 3.4.6
Is ZThreads really dead? I'm trying to contact the author to find out. Thinking in cpp has a good introduction to the library.

I'm going to give ZThreads a good work out as I need a thread library for a commercial project and don't want to write my own again. Be interested in other people's experiences.

Given that the last release was in 2003, I'm not holding my breath for an update.... ;-)

New g++ requires strict definition, this function is considered anonymous since the one intended is inherited.
What you should do is replace:
isDisabled()
With
LockHolder<LockType>::isDisabled()
