Hello,
after the discussion yesterday I've modified the code. Now the pool can be configured (second template argument of tp::pool) to use recursive invokation of tasks or fibers in order to enable fork/join semantics.
Yep. This is a good new.
I've found that the recursive invokation is more than two times faster than using fibers (see examples recursive_fibonacci_recursive_task.cpp and recursive_fibonacci_with_fibers.cpp).
This is not surprising.
The code using fibers sometimes raises an assertion in ~mutex() (used in work-stealing queue). For this reason and following the discussions I think I'll remove the support for fibers from threadpool.
Why not. I was not really attached to this solution. Thanks, Vicente
