Help in threads
« on: April 16, 2017, 02:53:45 pm »
this had got to be one of the toughest things in sfml, and i have a doubt..

1) Do threads only work with void functions. what if i want to return someting after the thread is completed.
2) How do you do the thing where you pose code in forums?

See the official tutorial.

You can post code by using [code=cpp][/code] tags.

If you have a decent compiler (i.e. one that supports C++11 features), I suggest you to forget about sf::Thread and start using std::thread. sf::Thread is most likely going away in SFML 3 anyway and your knowledge of std::thread you can reuse in myriad of other projects you may be a part of later on.

In fact, I have just realised this is mentioned in the official docs, but I'm keeping it here anyway. :)
