. Next, replace the constructor

Caesar_Cipher_ThreadType::Caesar_Cipher_ThreadType()

with

the contents of

“Listing 2-2. Caesar_Cipher_ThreadType() Imple-

mentation” on page 2-11

. The new lines of code are delineated in

italics.

4. Open

Caesar_Cipher_ThreadType.h

and add a few new member

variables (see

“Listing 2-3. VDK::Thread Implementation” on

page 2-11

5. Go back to

Caesar_Cipher_ThreadType.cpp

and add

#include <lwip/sockets.h>

near the top of the file, with the other

#include

directives, to make the sockets API “known” to this

source file.
