The changes are pretty simple. The differences are basically that a windows thread function is defined as DWORD WINAPI threadFunc( LPVOID argument ) - if you're ignoring the return value, there's almost no difference.
The bigger difference is with mutexes - you create one with CreateMutex, lock it with WaitForSingleObject, release it with ReleaseMutex and destroy it with CloseHandle. For more indepth information on mutexes, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createmutex.asp?frame=true For more indepth information on threads, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/creating_threads.asp Oh, and if you have any functions that are going to send messages within the thread, make sure you use a mutex to lock the MessageBegin and MessageEnd functions - I managed to mess some stuff up that way :) On 8/5/05, Ben Davison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > http://www.hl2coding.com/article.php?article=3 > > On 8/5/05, Damien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi > > > > I've developped a mysql plugin tu use with srcds. > > Due to performance issues, I'd like to make some operations go into > > another > > thread to avoid lag spikes...
