Hi,
I have a static function that is the entry point for a thread.
Code:
static DWORD WINAPI readPacket(LPVOID thisObject)
thisObject is a pointer to the class where the thread is instantiated.
Since the thread accesses data and functions found in the class, I had to make them static and define them outside of the class.
Code:
};
static FILE *filterPacket_logfile; /* The logfile to log errors in*/
static std::string error; /*This is the error printed to the logfile*/
static int (*callback_Function)(unsigned char *, int);
static void writeError(const char *errorString, int init_write);
The problem is that other objects outside of the class now have access to the variables and can modify them.
Is there any way I can have variables that the thread can access but that other objects outside of the class cannot access.
I tried accessing the private data members of the class using thisObject but the compiler says it's an error. The compiler is MS visual Studio .NET 2003.
error C2248: 'filterPacket:ort_Name' : cannot access private member declared in class 'filterPacket'
Thanks a lot for any help,
Amish
