This function gets the result of the thread's EntryPoint() function.

Syntax

• Object* GetResult()

Returns

Returns the result of the thread's EntryPoint() function. If the thread is not finished running, NULL will be returned.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

Mutex* mutex = NULL;

Object* ThreadFunction(Object* object)
{
        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
        {
                //Lock the mutex so the two threads don't interfere with each other
                mutex->Lock();

                System::Print("Thread 2 printing...");

                //Unlock the mutex so the other thread can run
                mutex->Unlock();

                Leadwerks::Time::Delay(1);
        }

        //Create something to give back to the main thread
        Vec3* v = new Vec3(1, 2, 3);
        return v;
}

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
        //Create a mutex
        mutex = Mutex::Create();

        //Create a thread.  This will launch into the thread function
        Thread* thread = Thread::Create(ThreadFunction);

        //Wait for the thread to finish
        while (thread->GetState() != Thread::Finished)
        {
                //Lock the mutex so the two threads don't interfere with each other
                mutex->Lock();

                System::Print("Thread 1 printing...");

                //Unlock the mutex so the other thread can run
                mutex->Unlock();

                Leadwerks::Time::Delay(1);
        }

        //Get the thread result
        Object* result = thread->GetResult();
        System::Print(result);

        //Cleanup
        result->Release();
        thread->Release();
