So my question actually has several parts: Using the Poco Threading Library: What are all of the possible methods for passing data to threads (at both thread invocation and for an already running thread). Which methods are preferred by you and why? Can you provide any additional information about your experience using these methods? Which methods are recommended by Applied Informatics (the author of Poco)? Is there any additional documentation supplied by Applied Informatics that outlines passing arguments to threads? I've looked here already: http://pocoproject.org/docs/package-Foundation.Threading-index.html http://pocoproject.org/slides/130-Threads.pdf Thanks in advance...
