Hi Johan,
one important thing is to 'use threads' before you 'use Wx'.
Do you get the core dumps when creating the threads or when trying to
join them?
I had some pain with threads in Wx, too. My issue was a bug(?) in Wx
2.8: I was assigning an ImageList to an widget more than once. Bad idea.
After that, the applications kept stable until I tried to start some
threads. It was really a pain to find out the root-cause of the core
dumps. Then I had another issue with a very complex data-structure with
many cross-references. That also seems to be an issue for Wx, for
whatever reason.
If you're not using Wx::PlThreadEvent events, threads work straight
forward as usual:
use threads;
use Wx;
...
my $thread = threads->create( sub { do something } )
$thread->join();
You shoudn't detach them. This also caused some core-dumps in my
application.
Besides that, threads are working pretty well. I am also using
Thread::Queue and shifting big amounts of data around. All works stable.
For the usage with Wx::PlThreadEvent there is a good example in the POD.
Cheers,
Markus
