Re: [boost] [task] - boost.task (replacement for boost.threadpool)

Hi, boost vault (section 'Concurrent Programming' - http://www.boostpro.com/vault/) contains boost.task.

It replaces boost.threadpool and provides a framework for parallel execution of tasks (launching task in the current thread, in a new thread, as sub-task or in a pool of threads).

Hi, colour me interested. What is the main benefit above the threadpool library? I presume the threadpool library you are talking about is http://threadpool.sf.net ? It seems the only real difference is a future/handle which the above library also has in an experimental capacity. Thanks in advance. -- Sohail Somani http://uint32t.blogspot.com
