Hi vincent,
2008/5/8 vicente.botet <vicente.botet@wanadoo.fr>:
In addition a cached thread should behaves as much as possible as a thread. A thread_pool is much more a multi_task scheduler than a thread factory.
Maybe a thread_pool with the needed policies can give the same result. Why not? . Task type : provide the thread functionality . Scheduling Policy : immediate (Synchronous) . Size Policy creates a new one when no more available
Do you know a thread_pool library allowing to implement the required behaviour?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/threadpool
It looks like it's still being maintained. I've never really used it for anything proper, but it seems to do some of the things you're looking for.
Thanks Darren, I'll take a look to see if I can use it. _____________________ Vicente Juan Botet Escriba
