+Function silc_fsm_thread_alloc
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+
+
+ SilcFSMThread silc_fsm_thread_alloc(SilcFSM fsm,
+ void *thread_context,
+ SilcFSMThreadDestructor destructor,
+ void *destructor_context,
+ SilcBool real_thread);
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+
+ Allocates FSM thread context. The thread will be executed in the
+ FSM machine indicated by `fsm'. The caller must free the returned
+ thread context with silc_fsm_free. If the 'real_thread' is TRUE
+ then the thread will actually be executed in real thread, if platform
+ supports them. The `thread_context' is delivered to every state
+ function in the thread.
+
+
+NOTES
+
+
+ If the system does not support threads, then this function will revert
+ back to normal FSM threads.
+
+ If the `real_thread' is TRUE then FSM will allocate new SilcSchedule
+ for the FSM thread. If you need scheduler in the real thread it is
+ strongly recommended that you use the SilcSchedule that is allocated
+ for the thread. You can retrieve the SilcSchedule from the thread
+ using silc_fsm_get_schedule function. Note that, the allocated
+ SilcSchedule will become invalid after the thread finishes.
+
+ If `real_thread' is FALSE the silc_fsm_get_schedule will return
+ the SilcSchedule that was originally given to silc_fsm_alloc or
+ silc_fsm_init.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+
+
+ SILC_FSM_STATE(silc_foo_state)
+ {
+ SilcFSMThread thread;
+ ...
+
+ // Execute the route lookup in thread
+ thread = silc_fsm_thread_alloc(fsm, fsm_context, NULL, NULL, FALSE);
+ silc_fsm_start(thread, silc_route_lookup_start);
+
+ // Wait here for the thread to terminate. Set the state where to go
+ // after the thread has terminated.
+ silc_fsm_next(fsm, silc_foo_route_lookup_finished);
+ SILC_FSM_THREAD_WAIT(thread);
+ }
