sequencing the access to the instance would be equivalent to chaining the tasks (== chained tasks are executed after each other -> as a sequence). take a look at thread_pool at the vault http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=boost-threadpool.2.tar.gz&directory=Concurrent%20Programming&.

Hi,
the tread_pool pattern is very useful to improve parallelism. But sometimes we need to constraint this parallelism, for example when several task are related to the same 'instance' it could be safer to sequence them.
Is there a mechanism that allows to do thinks like that on the thread_pool library?
Best,
