Fivewin multi-threading Support ?

[Jimmy]

hi,

i have include this on Top of Main

Code: Select all | Expand

   IF !hb_mtvm()
      MSGSTOP( "There is no support for multi-threading" )
      QUIT
   ENDIF

so how to enable multi-threading support for Fivewin

---

edit : found

hbmk2 test -mt

but how with *.MAK (BCC) or *.HBP (MSVC)

[Jimmy]

hi,

after searching for Sample using hb_threadStart() under Fivewin it seems me that Fivewin User does not know it

as i understand you need enable "multi-threading" support using Option -mt with hbmk2
also mt=yes in *.HBC "should" work ...

---

in *.HBP for MSVC 64 Bit i saw in 1st line

Code: Select all | Expand

-gui

now i have add

Code: Select all | Expand

-gui -mt

and "pass" Check

Code: Select all | Expand

   IF !hb_mtvm()
      MSGSTOP( "There is no support for multi-threading" )
      //      QUIT
   ENDIF

and can start a Thread

Code: Select all | Expand

   hb_threadStart( @MyMsgInfo(), "Hello World" )

but as you can see i fail in "my" new Method ... how to debug ... hm

---

now i know how with *.HBP and MSVC but how with *.MAK and BCC

[Jimmy]

Question :

are CLASSS DATA "visible" in Thread, call by hb_threadStart() "in" Method of CLASS, or i do i need to "pass" them as Parameter
can i use @::aSource or @MYaSource (per reference)

Code: Select all | Expand

#define HB_THREAD_INHERIT_PUBLIC    1
#define HB_THREAD_INHERIT_PRIVATE   2
#define HB_THREAD_INHERIT_MEMVARS   3
#define HB_THREAD_MEMVARS_COPY      4

i know HB_THREAD_INHERIT_PUBLIC but what is the Difference to PRIVATE or MEMVAR
what does MEMVARS_COPY mean

Dear Jimmy,

Please review FWH\samples\buildhmt.bat

FWH works properly using multi thread you can try it using FiveDBU.prg

[Jimmy]

hi Antonio,

Please review FWH\samples\buildhmt.bat

FWH works properly using multi thread you can try it using FiveDBU.prg

Ah, i have to use another *.BAT

OK and how with *.MAK which i use under 32 Bit OS

[Jimmy]

hi,

how to use

Code: Select all | Expand

   hb_threadDetach( LEN( oSelf:aThread ) )                            // close thread handle
   hb_threadQuitRequest( LEN( oSelf:aThread ) )                       // terminate thread

i have to it on End of Function, which is called by hb_threadStart(), but both fail at that place
"how" to "close" a Thread before RETURN

[Jimmy]

hi,

i have try buildhmt.bat and it seems to be for 32 Bit

Der Befehl "c:\bcc7\bin\bcc32" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.
* Linking errors *

btw. c:\fwh64\samples\testmt02.prg

Error in Line 34
uTh5 not define

must be uTh1

---

still not know how to enable -mt using *.MAK and BCC ...
or is there another Way instead of *.MAK which hold all *.PRG of Project under 32 Bit OS

[Jimmy]

hi,

is nobody using -mt and *.MAK with BCC

is there a "other" Way to use "a List of *.PRG" to compile under 32 Bit OS

[Jimmy]

got it

you need to change in *.MAK

Code: Select all | Expand

   echo $(HBDIR)\lib\win\bcc\hbvm.lib + >> b32.bc
   echo $(BCDIR)\lib\cw32.lib + >> b32.bc

into (add mt in LIB Name)

Code: Select all | Expand

   echo $(HBDIR)\lib\win\bcc\hbvmmt.lib + >> b32.bc
   echo $(BCDIR)\lib\cw32mt.lib + >> b32.bc

now you can use "mt LIB" for "multi-threading" support under Fivewin with *.MAK (BCC)

this is my *.MAK for BCC 32 Bit

Question : should i make a new Thread for User about using Thread with Fivewin

Dear Jimmy,

Very good

as you want
