Threadpool Class follows the threadpool pattern design :

• Create multi thread slot
• Task are loaded in thread slot.
• If there is to much task compared to the number of thread slot, task are saved in a queue for waiting empty slot.

Your own Task must follow rules by inherinting from Task in <ThreadPool/Task.hpp> :

• Add default constructor
• Add void run() method (run is the core method in Tread)

ThreadPool class is not a singleton. You have to make sure you create only one instance in your program. Furthermore, ThreadPool is non-copyable.

Using of C++11 std::thread.

  #include <ThreadPool/ThreadPool.h>
  #include "PersonalTask.h"

  using namespace TP;

  ThreadPool<NB_THREAD, PersonalTask> threadPool;

  threadPool.submit( PersonalTask(0) );
  threadPool.submit( PersonalTask(1) );
  threadPool.submit( PersonalTask(2) );

Required tools and libraries :

• CMake >= 2.8.0
• gcc >= 4.9.2
• clang >= 3.5.0

debian installation :

$ sudo apt-get install cmake gcc

git clone https://github.com/benoit-bst/threadPool

# Create project_root/build
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DENABLE_TESTING=ON ..
$ make

NOTES :

• ENABLE_TESTING allows testing compilation
• if you want to compile with clang, add -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/bin/clang++" option

# Inside project_root/tests
$ ./ThreadPoolTests

Active modern c++ flag in your compiler like -std=c++11 and put in your cmake file :

add_subdirectory(ThreadPool)
include_directories( ${ThreadPool_headers_dir} )
