Detailed Description

Platform-independent base class for running threads.

A Thread object manages one thread of control within the program. Threads begin executing with run(). Operational threads can be created by creating a derived class and reimplement function run().

Threads are reference-counted objects. Their allocation and destruction can be automatically managed with Thread_var.
