Function `core.thread.createLowLevelThread`

Create a thread not under control of the runtime, i.e. TLS module constructors are not run and the GC does not suspend it during a collection.


						
				ulong createLowLevelThread
				(
				

				  void delegate() dg,
				

				  uint stacksize = 0u,
				

				  void delegate() cbDllUnload = cast(void delegate() nothrow)null
				

				) nothrow @nogc;

Parameters

Name	Description
dg	delegate to execute in the created thread.
stacksize	size of the stack of the created thread. The default of 0 will select the platform-specific default size.
cbDllUnload	Windows only: if running in a dynamically loaded DLL, this delegate will be called if the DLL is supposed to be unloaded, but the thread is still running. The thread must be terminated via `joinLowLevelThread` by the callback.

Returns

the platform specific thread ID of the new thread. If an error occurs, ThreadID.init is returned.
