Generic C++ Thread

The C++ std::thread has the problem that it can only call static functions / methods. This class solves this problem with an abstract run() method which acts as the thread.

Just inherit this class, implement your run() method and then use start() to start the thread.

Include CppThread.h in your program.

class MyThread : public CppThread {

public:
	// override the constructor and add your init stuff
	MyThread(myArgs) {	    
	    // Your init code here!
	}

private:
	// implement run which is doing all the work
	void run() {
	     // Your magic worker here!
	}
	
private:
	// Your private data
};

	MyThread myThread;
	myThread.start();
	myThread.join();

To run demo.cpp just do cmake ., make and then ./demo.

To run demo.cpp just do cmake ., then start visual C++, open the solution, build it and then run Debug\demo.

That's it. Enjoy!
