<p>A version of the <a class="el" href="classgbxiceutilacfr_1_1Thread.html" title="A minor extention of the IceUtil::Thread class.">Thread</a> class which catches all possible exceptions. </p>
<p>If an exception is caught when the thread is not stopping, an error trace message will be printed. Then the thread wil wait for someone to call <a class="el" href="classgbxiceutilacfr_1_1Thread.html#aba38342e3f3d907eb8cf41f6c44d3af5">stop()</a>.</p>
<p>To use this class, simply implement the pure virtual walk() function. </p>
