Runnables

With RFC #0081 now implemented, the lang.Thread class now supports an additional way of implementing a thread: Besides subclassing the Thread class, you can now also pass any lang.Runnable object to its constructor.

Implementation by subclassing
(The conventional way)

  class ComputeThread extends Thread {
    public function run() {
      // ...
    }
  }

  $thread= new ComputeThread('computr1');
  $thread->start();

  $thread= new Thread(newinstance('lang.Runnable', array(), '{
    public function run() {
      // ...
    }
  }'));
  $thread->start();
