Homebrew [Useless] HBL .elf - Having fun with threads

[NexoCube]

Just me having fun with threads. Already compiled for those who wants to try.
You can look/modify the source code if you want to.

Well according to the tag it is pretty much useless lol. But in fact, it is just to show how to use threads in Homebrews/Apps (with WUT)
You can handle it as a multi-threading introduction.

You can only exit a thread in the thread itself? ((void (*)())0x01041D6C)(); // OSExitThread()

I see you run each thread only once, then exit the program.
if your program loops (GUI interface, or game), can you run a thread and control it from the main() or another thread?
maybe the CPU needs to terminate itself, so I suppose you use pointers to check if a thread has to terminate itself and control its state from another thread (a sync thread function).


Thanks for sharing, it was easy to understand.

According to the *legally owned* Cafe SDK Documentation, OSExitThread will terminate the caller thread. (I need to check again, maybe)

And thanks !
