This library provides a simple C++ thread wrapper class for pthreads.

DThread is a an abstract base class which wraps thread functionality. Thread-wrapping classes are derived from DThread. They redefine the t_Run method which is the thread entry point. A cancellation handler is installed by redefining the t_CancelHandler() method.

Features:

• Threads are created as joinable (deferred cancellation).

• DThread provides a mutex for shared data access serialization.

• Heavy asserts or throws are used to catch class misuse - better a hard failure than sleazy bugs.

• DThread Usage patterns are indicated in the documentation

• Examples are provided in the repository.
