Struct Thread

pub struct Thread { /* private fields */ }

A single Zephyr thread.

This wraps a k_thread type within Rust. This value is returned from StaticThread::init_once and represents an initialized thread that hasn’t been started.

Implementations

impl Thread

pub fn set_priority(&mut self, priority: c_int)

Set the priority the thread will be created at.

pub fn set_options(&mut self, options: u32)

Set the value of the options passed to thread creation.

pub fn set_name(&mut self, name: &'static CStr)

Set a name for this thread.

Attempts to set the name of this thread, if Zephyr if configured to do so. Has no effect otherwise.

pub unsafe fn simple_spawn( self, child: k_thread_entry_t, p1: *mut c_void, p2: *mut c_void, p3: *mut c_void, )

Simple thread spawn. This is unsafe because of the raw values being used. This can be useful in systems without an allocator defined.

Safety

Safe use follows similar requirements to using this safely from within C code. Passing Rust values through this interface is difficult to get right, and it is generally recommended to use spawn.

pub fn spawn<F: FnOnce() + Send + 'static>(self, child: F)

Spawn a thread, with a closure.

This requires allocation to be able to safely pass the closure to the other thread.
