Hello Vicente, thanks for your response - I'll remove lazy and adaptive strategy and release the new version in the boost vault soon. Please note that the work-stealing is not fork-join as you requested in some of your previous emails (so please don't be disapointed).
No problem. I 'm looking for the feature not the form.
For fork-join two possible strategies are possible - one like in JAVA (from Doug Lea) which blocks in pool::submit() until the main task and its sub-tasks are finished - the other solution would require stack switching as it is provided by the coroutines lib in the vault. I would prefere the stack switching solution but it seams to become a complex implementation.
Yes, I understand. A thread pool on top of the coroutine library is an excelent idea. Best, Vicente
