Member Function Documentation

virtual void Raul::Thread::_run (  )  [inline, protected, virtual]

Thread function to execute.

This is called once on start, and terminated on stop. Implementations likely want to put some infinite loop here.

When _exit_flag becomes true (via a call to stop()) the loop should exit.
