NAME

6       Test2::Require::Threads - Skip a test file unless the system supports
7       threading
8

DESCRIPTION

10       It is fairly common to write tests that need to use threads. Not all
11       systems support threads. This library does the hard work of checking if
12       threading is supported on the current system. If threading is not
13       supported then this will skip all tests and exit true.
14

SYNOPSIS

16           use Test2::Require::Threads;
17
18           ... Code that uses threads ...
19

EXPLANATION

21       Checking if the current system supports threading is not simple, here
22       is an example of how to do it:
23
24           use Config;
25
26           sub CAN_THREAD {
27               # Threads are not reliable before 5.008001
28               return 0 unless $] >= 5.008001;
29               return 0 unless $Config{'useithreads'};
30
31               # Devel::Cover currently breaks with threads
32               return 0 if $INC{'Devel/Cover.pm'};
33               return 1;
34           }
35
36       Duplicating this non-trivial code in all tests that need to use threads
37       is error-prone. It is easy to forget bits, or get it wrong. On top of
38       these checks you also need to tell the harness that no tests should run
39       and why.
