RosettaThreadManagerAdvancedAPIKey.hh File Reference

A class containing no private member data and only a constructor as a private member function, with friendship to only those classes that should be able to access the advanced RosettaThreadManager API. Since the advanced API requires an instance of a RosettaThreadManagerAdvancedAPIKey, this ensures that only those classes can access the advanced API.'. More...

If you use the RosettaThreadManager::run_function_in_threads() advanced API, you must modify this class to add your calling context to the friend list for this class. If you do not do this, you will not be able to create an instance of this class to pass to that function. Whitelisting your calling context will light up the central_class_modification integration test, and this means that you will be forced to justify why you need the advanced API before you can merge your code. It is STRONGLY recommended that you try to use the basic API (the RosettaThreadManager::do_work_vector_in_threads() function), which is much safer, if you possibly can. If you want to discuss the best way to multi-thread your code, please talk to Andrew Leaver-Fay or Vikram K. Mulligan BEFORE starting.
