Member Function Documentation

getName()

virtual IlsThreadObjectName IlsMTBase::getName ( ) const

virtual

This member function returns the name of an object.

The thread utility classes do not supply a name for the objects. If you want to name the objects, you must subclass them and provide this virtual member function.

All the thread utility classes provide an operator<<() that tries to retrieve the name from the name member function. If this fails, they use the object identifier or a platform-dependent value. In the case of the thread object, the library tries to return the thread identifier that is used in the debugger (where possible) in order to help debugging.
