Win32 Implementation
Now let’s take a look at the equivalent Windows implementation. The Windows implementation sits on top of the Win32 API. Win32 allows thread creation and execution to be a two-step process. So, let’s take advantage of that. That would imply that the entry function and parameter do not need to be in the struct. But the Win32 prototype for a thread entry function is somewhat different from MyOS, so we have to store the entry and parameter in the struct after all. Here is the struct:
| src/MyOS/Win32/Thread.c | |
| | typedef struct ThreadStruct |
| | { |
| | HANDLE threadHandle; |
| | ThreadEntryFunction entry; |
| | void * parameter; |
| | BOOL started; |
| | } ThreadStruct; |
Here is the Win32-compatible thread entry function:
| src/MyOS/Win32/Thread.c ... |
