Crate thread_control

Library to control thread execution.

Usage example:

use std::thread;
use thread_control::*;

fn main() {
    let (flag, control) = make_pair();
    let handle = thread::spawn(move || {
        while flag.alive() {
        }
    });
    assert_eq!(control.is_done(), false);
    control.stop();
    handle.join();
    assert_eq!(control.is_interrupted(), false);
    assert_eq!(control.is_done(), true);
}

Interrupt example:

use std::thread;
use thread_control::*;

fn main() {
    let (flag, control) = make_pair();
    let handle = thread::spawn(move || {
        while flag.alive() {
        }
    });
    control.interrupt();
    handle.join();
    assert_eq!(control.is_interrupted(), true);
    assert_eq!(control.is_done(), true);
}

Panics example:

use std::thread;
use thread_control::*;

fn main() {
    let (flag, control) = make_pair();
    let handle = thread::spawn(move || {
        while flag.alive() {
            panic!("PANIC!");
        }
    });
    handle.join();
    assert_eq!(control.is_interrupted(), true);
    assert_eq!(control.is_done(), true);
}
