http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1966 Summary: Allow for Derived Thread Classes Product: D Version: 2.012 Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com ReportedBy: bcwhite pobox.com As far as I can tell, it's not possible to create a class derived from Thread and have it apply to the main thread. This is because the "static void thread_init()" function internally does a "new Thread()". Thus, if I want to create a derived class, I must duplicate this function in it's entirety rather than just call it as part of the derived "thread_init". How about having the existing class take a single Thread parameter that defaults to "null" and only allocate a new object if "null" is received. public static void thread_init(Thread t = null) { if (t is null) { t = new Thread(); } ... } I would then have my derived thread class define its own function like this... public static void thread_init(MyThread t = null) { if (t is null) { t = new MyThread(); } Thread.thread_init(t); ... } --
