Westminster, CA, USA (June 7, 2006) -- Taylor Design has released
PreemptiveThreadTD 2.0, an update to the toolkit
which makes it easy for REALbasic users to execute code in OS native,
preemptive threads on Mac OS X and Windows. Version 2.0 fixes
numerous bugs
which could lead to crashes when using version 1.0. Because the class
interface changed slightly and requires changes to code which was
based on
version 1.0, the version has been incremented to 2.0.
The PreemptiveThreadTD toolkit includes 4 classes for implementing and
communicating with preemptive threads: PreemptiveThreadTD,
CriticalSectionTD, SemaphoreTD, and ThreadCompletionTimerTD. Using these
classes REALbasic users can create threads that execute code which would
block a standard Thread and lead to sluggish behavior or a frozen UI.
Because PreemptiveThreadTD threads are managed by the host OS they never
prevent other application threads from receiving time, and will even be
scheduled across multiple processors according to the rules of the
host OS.
PreemptiveThreadTD includes a PDF manual which explains how to use
preemptive threads and covers some of the common problems and
limitations
associated with code executing in a preemptive thread. The toolkit also
includes a small example which illustrates proper communication
between code
executing in a preemptive thread and an owning window operating in the
standard REALbasic cooperative space.
The demo version of PreemptiveThreadTD may be used in the REALbasic
debugger
for code development and testing. The registered version allows the
creation
of compiled applications for Mac OS X and Windows and supports the
Carbon
PEF, Carbon Mach-O PPC, and Windows x86 targets.
Licenses are available for individual developers, organization sites,
and
worldwide organizations. All licenses allow for commercial use and
cover all
supported build targets.
