Method: ThreadGroup#add

Defined in:

thread.c

#add(thread) ⇒ Object

Adds the given thread to this group, removing it from any other group to which it may have previously been a member.

puts "Initial group is #{ThreadGroup::Default.list}"
tg = ThreadGroup.new
t1 = Thread.new { sleep }
t2 = Thread.new { sleep }
puts "t1 is #{t1}"
puts "t2 is #{t2}"
tg.add(t1)
puts "Initial group now #{ThreadGroup::Default.list}"
puts "tg group now #{tg.list}"

This will produce:

Initial group is #<Thread:0x401bdf4c>
t1 is #<Thread:0x401b3c90>
t2 is #<Thread:0x401b3c18>
Initial group now #<Thread:0x401b3c18>#<Thread:0x401bdf4c>
tg group now #<Thread:0x401b3c90>
