BeOS dev. number: E-3048
You can find the latest version of my BeOS
programs here. For any further info you can reach me at this e-mail
address. Yeah, and as every other page on the web, this one is also under construction...
so be aware of falling brickets :) ! Yup, and in case of emergency try the archive
dir for a list of files in my BeOS directory. (I know I will not update
this page often enough... :)
And sorry for the late PPC updates but as an East-European
student I can't afford a ppc machine. (if you have problem with spending your
money just find me ! :)
Intrested in the "OS-war" ? Take a look at www.oscounter.org !
My current projects:
This is a replacement for the default top program that's shipped with BeOS. If you are not familiar with unix systems, top is a program that prints a lot of information about what processes are running and how much resources they use. I know that nowadays everyone wants a GUI based sysinfo program, but I had to start learning BeOS programming somewhere... :) so it's here, and can be fairly useful. It's freeware, use it at your own risk. (Be careful with killing teams/threads because you can put the system in an unstable state very easily !)
The set delay bug is gone...
SyX is chart drawing program, I started it to be a complete sysinfo program with team/thread listing, but there are plenty of those programs nowadays... so I think I will degrade my plans with SyX to make it a chart drawing program. But currenlty I don't know any chart drawing program that has as much features as SyX has now, and there's a new uptime monitoring tab. Anyway, if you're intrested take a look at the screenshot and download it, it's free...
Expect some docs here once I get enough time... Until then read the files in the archive.
Now it's possible to call a function with the thread object as it's first parameter. This way you can start a "cooperative" thread that calls AThread :: IsQuitRequested() to determine if it's expected to quit. BTW classes were renamed to AThread and APeriodicThread. FireAndForgetThread is gone because AThread was extended to be able to delet itself when the thread exists. New in 2.5.0: there's a new very handy AThreadPool class. See docs inside.
Now ThreadMagic is totally free, you can use it in commercial apps too !
