Création de threads et passage de données au démarrage

Lorsqu’un processus de système d’exploitation est créé, le système d’exploitation injecte un thread pour exécuter du code dans ce processus, y compris un domaine d’application d’origine. À ce stade, des domaines d’application peuvent être créés et détruits sans nécessairement avoir à créer ou à détruire des threads de système d’exploitation. Si le code en cours d’exécution est un code géré, un objet Thread pour le thread s’exécutant dans le domaine d’application actuel peut être obtenu en récupérant la propriété statique CurrentThread de type Thread. Cette rubrique décrit la création de threads et présente des alternatives pour transmettre des données à la procédure de thread.

Création d’un thread

La création d’un nouvel objet Thread entraîne la création d’un thread managé. La classe Thread a des constructeurs qui acceptent un délégué ThreadStart ou ParameterizedThreadStart ; le délégué inclut dans un wrapper la méthode qui est appelée par le nouveau thread lorsque vous appelez la méthode Start. L’appel de Start plus d’une fois entraîne la levée d’une ThreadStateException.

La méthode Start est retournée immédiatement, souvent avant que le nouveau thread n’ait réellement démarré. Vous pouvez utiliser les propriétés ThreadState et IsAlive pour déterminer l’état du thread à tout moment, mais ces propriétés ne doivent jamais être utilisées pour synchroniser les activités de threads.

Notes

Une fois qu’un thread a démarré, il n’est pas nécessaire de conserver une référence à l’objet Thread. Le thread continue à s’exécuter jusqu'à la fin de la procédure de thread.

L’exemple de code suivant crée deux nouveaux threads pour appeler des méthodes statiques et d’instance sur un autre objet.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;

public ref class ServerClass
{
public:
    // The method that will be called when the thread is started.
    void InstanceMethod()
    {
        Console::WriteLine(
            "ServerClass.InstanceMethod is running on another thread.");

        // Pause for a moment to provide a delay to make
        // threads more apparent.
        Thread::Sleep(3000);
        Console::WriteLine(
            "The instance method called by the worker thread has ended.");
    }

    static void StaticMethod()
    {
        Console::WriteLine(
            "ServerClass.StaticMethod is running on another thread.");

        // Pause for a moment to provide a delay to make

Passage de données à des threads

Le délégué ParameterizedThreadStart permet de transmettre facilement un objet contenant des données à un thread lorsque vous appelez Thread.Start(Object). Pour obtenir un exemple de code, consultez ParameterizedThreadStart.

L’utilisation du délégué ParameterizedThreadStart n’est pas une méthode de type sécurisé pour transmettre des données, car la méthode Thread.Start(Object) accepte tous les objets. Une alternative consiste à encapsuler la procédure de thread et les données dans une classe d’assistance et à utiliser le délégué ThreadStart pour exécuter la procédure de thread. L’exemple suivant montre cette technique :

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;

// The ThreadWithState class contains the information needed for
// a task, and the method that executes the task.
//
public ref class ThreadWithState
{
private:
    // State information used in the task.
    String^ boilerplate;
    int numberValue;

    // The constructor obtains the state information.
public:
    ThreadWithState(String^ text, int number)
    {
        boilerplate = text;
        numberValue = number;
    }

    // The thread procedure performs the task, such as formatting
    // and printing a document.
    void ThreadProc()
    {
        Console::WriteLine(boilerplate, numberValue);
    }
};

// Entry point for the example.

        // Supply the state information required by the task.
        ThreadWithState^ tws = gcnew ThreadWithState(
            "This report displays the number {0}.", 42);

        // Create a thread to execute the task, and then
        // start the thread.
        Thread^ t = gcnew Thread(gcnew ThreadStart(tws, &ThreadWithState::ThreadProc));

        Console::WriteLine("Main thread does some work, then waits.");
        t->Join();

    // The constructor obtains the state information.

        numberValue = number;
    }

    // The thread procedure performs the task, such as formatting

    }
}

//

{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Supply the state information required by the task.
        ThreadWithState tws = new ThreadWithState(
            "This report displays the number {0}.", 42);

        // Create a thread to execute the task, and then
        // start the thread.
        Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(tws.ThreadProc));
        t.Start();

Ni le délégué ThreadStart ni le délégué ParameterizedThreadStart n’ont de valeur de retour, car il n’existe pas d’endroit où retourner les données provenant d’un appel asynchrone. Pour récupérer les résultats d’une méthode de thread, vous pouvez utiliser une méthode de rappel, comme montré dans la section suivante.

Récupération de données provenant de threads avec des méthodes de rappel

L’exemple suivant montre une méthode de rappel qui récupère des données à partir d’un thread. Le constructeur de la classe qui contient les données et la méthode de thread accepte également un délégué représentant la méthode de rappel ; avant la fin de la méthode de thread, il appelle le délégué de rappel.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;
