cocos2d-x引擎在内部实现了一个庞大的主循环，每帧之间更新界面，如果耗时的操作放到了主线程中，游戏的界面就会卡，这是不能容忍的，游戏最基本的条件就是流畅性，这就是为什么游戏开发选择C++的原因。另外现在双核手机和四核手机越来越普遍了，是时候使用多线程来挖掘硬件的潜力了。

1.环境搭建

cocos2d-x中的多线程使用pthread就可以实现跨平台，而且也不是很难理解。使用pthread需要先配置一下工程。右击工程----->属性----->配置属性---->链接器----->输入---->附加依赖项中添加pthreadVCE2.lib，如下图

接着添加附加包含目录，右击项目，属性----->C/C++---->常规----->附加包含目录加入pthread头文件所在的目录

这样，环境就搭建起来了。

2.多线程的使用

使用pthread来实现多线程，最重要的一个函数是

PTW32_DLLPORT int PTW32_CDECL pthread_create (pthread_t * tid,//线程的标示
                            const pthread_attr_t * attr,//创建线程的参数
                            void *(*start) (void *),//入口函数的指针
                            void *arg);                       //传递给线程的数据

在HelloWorldScene.h文件中

pthread_t pidrun,pidgo;
static void* th_run(void *r);
static void* th_go(void *r);

定义了两个函数和两个线程的标识。

然后自定义了一个类，用于给线程传递数据。Student类如下：

#include <string>
class Student
{
public:
    Student(void);
    Student(std::string name,int age,std::string sex);
    ~Student(void);

    std::string name;
    int age;
    std::string sex;

};

#include "Student.h"
#include "cocos2d.h"

Student::Student(void)
{
}


Student::~Student(void)
{
    cocos2d::CCLog("delete data");
}
Student::Student(std::string name,std::string sex)
{
    this->name=name;
    this->age=age;
    this->sex=sex;
}

void HelloWorld::menuCloseCallback(CCObject* pSender)
{
   
    Student *temp=new Student(std::string("zhycheng"),23,std::string("male"));
    pthread_mutex_init(&mutex,NULL);
    pthread_create(&pidrun,NULL,th_run,temp);//启动线程
    pthread_create(&pidgo,th_go,0);

}

可以看到，将Student的指针传递给了pidrun线程，那么在pidrun线程中获得Student信息如下：

Student *s=(Student*)(r);
CCLog("name is %s,and age is %d,sex is %s",s->name.c_str(),s->age,s->sex.c_str());
delete s;

3.线程同步

使用了线程，必然就要考虑到线程同步，不同的线程同时访问资源的话，访问的顺序是不可预知的，会造成不可预知的结果。

这里使用pthread_mutex_t来实现同步，下面我来演示一下使用多线程实现卖票系统。卖票的时候，是由多个窗口同时卖票，这里要做到一张票不要卖出去两次，不要出现有票却无法卖的结果。

在线程函数th_run和th_go中来卖票，票的数量是一个全局变量，每卖出去一张票，就将票的数量减一。其中同步的pthread_mutex_t也是一个全局变量，就用它来实现线程同步。

void* HelloWorld::th_run(void *r)
{
    
    Student *s=(Student*)(r);
    CCLog("name is %s,s->sex.c_str());
    delete s;
    while(true)
    {
        pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
        if(ticket>0)
        {
        CCLog("thread run sell %d",ticket);
        ticket--;
        pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
        }
        else
        {
            pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
            break;    
        }
    
        Sleep(1);
        //Usleep(10);
    }

    return NULL;
}

void* HelloWorld::th_go(void *r)
{
    
    while(true)
    {
        pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
        if(ticket>0)
        {
        CCLog("thread go sell %d",ticket);
        ticket--;
        pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
        }
        else
        {
            pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
            break;
            
        }
        
        Sleep(1);
        
    }
    return NULL;
}

mutex被锁定后，其他线程若再想锁定mutex的话，必须等待，当该线程释放了mutex之后，其他线程才能锁定mutex。Sleep()函数可以使得该线程休眠，单位是毫秒。下面是卖票的结果：

name is zhycheng,and age is 23,sex is male

可以看到，有的票卖了两次，有的票就没卖。

4.注意

1.Sleep()函数是使得线程休眠的函数，这个函数不跨平台，仅仅在windows上能用，其他平台使用usleep。

2.在非主线程中不能使用cocos2d-x管理内存的CCObject::retain(),CCObject::release()者CCObject::autorelease()，因为CCAutoreleasePool不是线程安全的，OPENGL的上下文也不是线程安全的，所以不要再非主线程中使用cocos2d-x的API和UI操作。
