I want to use SDL_CreateThread in C++

Jeon, Chang-Min · 07-20-2005, 11:08 AM

function prototype something like this.

SDL_Thread *SDL_CreateThread(int (*fn)(void *), void *data);

But I don't know how to throw argument of SDL_CreateThread func.

I want to create thread of run func.

Example.

Class AAA{

public:
int run();

void create();
};

int AAA::run()
{
while(1)
{
Do something
}
}

void AAA::create()
{
SDL_Thread* thread = SDL_CreateThread(??????, NULL);

}

This belongs in Programming, unless you want more people to see it or something.
Anyway, you need to create a function that looks kinda like
int timerFunction(void *data) {
// do stuff
}
Then call
SDL_Thread *thread=SDL_CreateThread(&timerFunction, (void *)data)

You should probably google "c++ function pointers" to get a proper explanation
