Description (last modified by wraitii)

We currently use std::thread in a number of places:

  • map generator
  • net client
  • net server
  • user reporter
  • sound
  • (More?)

And soon we hope:

  • pathfinder

There are issues with our implementation: we use "naked" std::thread instead of cleverer solutions. This, notably, means we fail to detect exceptions happening in the threads (see ​https://code.wildfiregames.com/rP22649#45341 ) A better architecture ought to be found and implemented.

Milestone: Alpha 24 → Alpha 25

Net client was threaded in A24, A25 will hopefully thread the pathfinder.
