What's ThreadJack ?

ThreadJack is a platform-independent C++ class library which supports Java^TM-like multi-thread programming model. 

Is ThreadJack an Open Source software ?

Not exactly. The source code is free for non-commercial or evaluation use. But for commercial use, you should be licensed. 

What's the design goal of ThreadJack?

The followings are the design goals of ThreadJack1.0.

• Supports the Multi-thread model adopted by Java^TM's Thread class, Obejct class, and 'synchornized' keyword. And also supports other frequently used classes in multi-thread programming such as Queue, Semaphore, RWLock, and etc.
• Provides parallel counterpart of Java^TM's Event model, Observer/Observable model in C++.
• Provides support for C++-proper problems such as memory allocation with the model.
• Utilizes C++-proper features such as templates, mutiple inheritance, standard library(including STL), and const keyword with the model.
• Has an architecture which makes it easy to port this library to any platforms. Expected platforms are unix international thread, p-thread, Win32 thread and vxworks' task.
• Efficiency. Accesses directly to native thread libraries.

What's the ThreadJack's roadmap ?

• 1999 spring - version 1.0 release
• 1999 summer - Win32 thread support
• 1999 winter - IO package including TCP/IP

How are errors and exceptions handled in ThreadJack?

ThreadJack itself doesn't throw exceptions, but throws exceptions such as bad_alloc which standard libraries throw. You may want to use compiler's exception handling options to control this behavior.
