Function nstd_thread_spawn 

#[unsafe(no_mangle)]
pub unsafe extern "C" fn nstd_thread_spawn(
    thread_fn: unsafe extern "C" fn(NSTDOptionalHeapPtr<'_>) -> NSTDThreadResult,
    data: NSTDOptionalHeapPtr<'static>,
    desc: Option<&NSTDThreadDescriptor>,
) -> NSTDOptionalThread

Available on crate feature thread only.

Spawns a new thread executing the function thread_fn and returns a handle to the new thread.

Parameters:

• NSTDThreadResult (*thread_fn)(NSTDOptionalHeapPtr) - The thread function.

• NSTDOptionalHeapPtr data - Data to send to the thread.

• const NSTDThreadDescriptor *desc - The thread descriptor. This value may be null.

Returns

NSTDOptionalThread thread - A handle to the new thread on success, or an uninitialized “none” variant on error.

Safety

• The caller of this function must guarantee that thread_fn is a valid function pointer.

• This operation can cause undefined behavior if desc.name’s data is invalid.

• The data type that data holds must be able to be safely sent between threads.

Example

use nstd_sys::{
    core::optional::NSTDOptional,
    heap_ptr::NSTDOptionalHeapPtr,
    thread::{nstd_thread_join, nstd_thread_spawn, NSTDThreadResult},
};

unsafe extern "C" fn thread_fn(data: NSTDOptionalHeapPtr) -> NSTDThreadResult {
    NSTDOptional::None
}

let thread = unsafe { nstd_thread_spawn(thread_fn, NSTDOptional::None, None) };
if let NSTDOptional::Some(thread) = thread {
    if let NSTDOptional::Some(ret) = unsafe { nstd_thread_join(thread) } {
        if let NSTDOptional::Some(_) = ret {
            panic!("this shouldn't be here");
        }
    }
}
