Hi August, the main problem of your code is that the function m_child is stuck with waiting for the conditional (cond.Wait() ) when you want to delete object. On the other hand, there _was_ a flext bug when terminating such incooperative threads. (which is in cvs tomorrow morning)
There a two ways to make your code cleaner:
- in m_child use cond.TimedWait() with 100 ms or so, so that your loop
iteratives once in a while. Then you can also use ShouldExit()
- when you want to stick with your quit, you can also signal the conditional
just before StopThreads() in your destructor
best greetings, Thomas

'ncase anyone is interested. ongoing work with this external. basically, I use pd for various things and need a similar interface to different filetypes.
an almost beta version is at:
http://aug.ment.org/software/readanysf~0.05.tar.gz
the only known bug at the moment is that if you try and remove one of the readanysf~ objects from the canvas, something is likely to explode.
this has something to do with how flext handles threading, i think, but am not sure.
is there something like a pthreads_join in flext? i think that would help.
ShouldExit() and StopThreads() simply doesnt do it for me.
features:
pcm and time seeking looping (internally and should be sample accurate) plays aiff, wav, nextstep (same code as readsf~ with 16,24 and 32bit float support) plus vorbis and mp3 (using madlib)
near future: add flac support (anyone have a good simple flac code?) conifigure and make scripts
distant future: http streaming (perhaps) convert to pure c++ without flext if i cant get flext to work with the threading. would be a shame.
any suggestions? -tsugua.
