[SDL] Threads and C++

[Ochendrowitsch Pablo]

The simplest method i guess is using a proxi function.
I think its interesting to say there is a lib called Adaptive 
communication Enviroment (ACE) that is a c++ toolkit over

signals
times
threards
memory management
IPC
Pipes
Sockets

In the area of threads, it has the function thread and the 
implementation of two pattern based objects, "task" and "active object"

The task is a thread object derived of the class ACE_Task. To use it 
you have to subclass the task class and implement three methods:

class::open(); class::close();
to initialice and clean your thread enviroment.

class::svc(); // or Servece Procesing Method
it is used as entry point.

then

myclass mythread;
mythread.open();
mythread.active(num_of_threads);

it also implements a mesage queue, one for each thread, to allow the 
threads comunicate between them.

The other pattern is the active object. In this, all methods calling 
are non block calls (all the object run in a thread, and all the calls 
are done async). It hard to explain it so if you wanna know, it is open 
source and has a page on the net, but i just dont have it here.

Other posibility is to implemen the task base class yourself, i think 
it is not so hard and even it may encapsulate a proxy function.

Wish to be usefull
