Detailed Description
A base class for threads.
The virtual function doRun() needs to be overriden and after creation of the thread on the heap or stack, the thread is in a state ready to be run.
The run() function actually starts the thread.
JOINABLE threads can be waited for, DETACHED threads can not be waited for.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ ~Thread()

- Warning
- The destructor will not join joinable threads first. You have to do it yourself. Why? Well, as long as the worker thread is executing doRun(), it needs the complete thread object. By the time we get in ~Thread(), the derived class is already destructed and the thread would now be acting on a half destructed object. That can't be good, can it? So make sure you call join() before the destructor is invoked.
