ThreadAnchor

An object which allows calling a function in a different thread. Create ThreadAnchor in the main thread (the thread in which the code will run in), and then call runWait or runAsync from a different thread.

The main thread must be running an unblocked ae.net.asockets event loop.

final

class ThreadAnchor : TcpConnection {

this();

void runAsync(Dg dg);

void runWait(Dg dg);

void close();

}
