# class ThreadTarget

Library: Foundation
Package: Threading
Header: Poco/ThreadTarget.h

## Description

This adapter simplifies using static member functions as well as standalone functions as targets for threads. Note that it is possible to pass those entities directly to Thread::start(). This adapter is provided as a convenience for higher abstraction level scenarios where Runnable abstract class is used.

For using a non-static member function as a thread target, please see the RunnableAdapter class.

Usage:

    class MyObject
    {
        static void doSomething() {}
    };
    ThreadTarget ra(&MyObject::doSomething);
    Thread thr;
    thr.start(ra);

or:

    void doSomething() {}

    ThreadTarget ra(doSomething);
    Thread thr;
    thr.start(ra);
