CLASS T.evalThread<Titem> EXTENDS THREAD.ThreadBase @public

summary

Thread to be used for evaluating a function and returning the result through a pipe.

Titem is the type of the item returned through the pipe.

Example: evaluate an expression in a thread:

 pipe<string> p = T.evalThread<string>.NEW().eval({ => "hello there" })
 IO.print(p.read())

	NEW(f) @public
	$setProc(f) @public	Set the function to be invoked by start().
	$eval(f) pipe<Titem> @public	Start the thread and return the pipe to read the result from.
	$getPipe() pipe<Titem> @public	Return the pipe to read the result from.

	eval(f) pipe<Titem> @public	Quick way to evaluate a function in a thread.

Inherited from THREAD.ThreadBase:
string	$name @public	optional name, NIL when not set
THREAD.State	$state @public	state of the thread
Type	$type @public	type of thread
int	$ctxLen @file

	NEW() @public	Create a new thread.
	$setName(name) ThreadBase @file	Set the name of the thread.
	$start() ThreadBase @public	Start executing the thread.
	$wait() @public	Wait in the current thread for the thread of this object to finish.
	$kill() @public	Kill the thread, stop its execution.
	$remove() @public	Not Implemented Yet

PROC NEW(func< => Titem> f) @public

FUNC $eval(func< => Titem> f) pipe<Titem> @public

Start the thread and return the pipe to read the result from.

FUNC $getPipe() pipe<Titem> @public

Return the pipe to read the result from.

read() on this pipe will only work once.

PROC $setProc(func< => Titem> f) @public

Set the function to be invoked by start().

TODO: return the object.

FUNC eval(func< => Titem> f) pipe<Titem> @public

Quick way to evaluate a function in a thread.

Equivalent to T.evalThread<Titem>.NEW().eval(f)
