thread problem Topic is solved

[semo]

Hello.
Under OSX, wxWidget 3.0.2
I have a wxFrame and a worker c++ std::thread.

worker thread is very simple.

Code: Select all

void wt()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        do_something();
        std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(30)); // sleep 30ms
     }
}

When my wxFrame not the topmost window, sleep_for never return.
at that time,
If I move mouse around the wxFrame, sleep return and continue.

Under Windows, There's no problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.

What is "do_something()" - are you performing some GUI operations there?

[semo]

do_something use socket function and not use any wxWidget functions.

I solved the problem.
I changed my thread as real time thread.

The problem was app nap feature of the OS X.

I know this is an older thread but I am having issues where it seems like my worker threads are not really running in the back ground, is there a setting to make this what this said a real time thread?

Please open a new thread and explain the problem in more detail. Unless you explicitly Wait() on a joinable thread, they will always work in the background.
