Two points about std.thread: 1) Considering that the thread class has a public static yield() method, it would be nice to see a similar sleep method that accepts a milliscecond argument. There's no way that I can see to sleep in the current thread without bringing in OS-specific functions. 2) The 2 wait methods are misnamed, IMO. The first reaction I had to seeing them was that they are sleep methods, but of course they are not. I think a more appropriate name would be 'join'. #2 is a matter of taste, but I think #1 is a must have. It's rather silly that Thread.yield calls Sleep(0) on Windows, but to sleep for a fixed amount of time one must import std.c.windows.windows and call Sleep(X) onself. | |||||||
