如何在C++中使用boost创建线程池？

Question

如何使用C++中的boost创建线程池,如何将任务分配给线程池？

Answer 1

这个过程非常简单.首先创建一个asio :: io_service和一个thread_group.使用链接到io_service的线程填充thread_group.使用boost :: bind函数将任务分配给线程.

要停止线程(通常在退出程序时),只需停止io_service并加入所有线程.

你应该只需要这些标题:

#include <boost/asio/io_service.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

这是一个例子:

/*
 * Create an asio::io_service and a thread_group (through pool in essence)
 */
boost::asio::io_service ioService;
boost::thread_group threadpool;


/*
 * This will start the ioService processing loop. All tasks 
 * assigned with ioService.post() will start executing. 
 */
boost::asio::io_service::work work(ioService);

/*
 * This will add 2 threads to the thread pool. (You could just put it in a for loop)
 */
threadpool.create_thread(
    boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &ioService)
);
threadpool.create_thread(
    boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &ioService)
);

/*
 * This will assign tasks to the thread pool. 
 * More about boost::bind: "http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/bind/bind.html#with_functions"
 */
ioService.post(boost::bind(myTask, "Hello World!"));
ioService.post(boost::bind(clearCache, "./cache"));
ioService.post(boost::bind(getSocialUpdates, "twitter,gmail,facebook,tumblr,reddit"));

/*
 * This will stop the ioService processing loop. Any tasks
 * you add behind this point will not execute.
*/
ioService.stop();

/*
 * Will wait till all the threads in the thread pool are finished with 
 * their assigned tasks and 'join' them. Just assume the threads inside
 * the threadpool will be destroyed by this method.
 */
threadpool.join_all();

我知道你喜欢代码.

我的版本

namespace bamthread
{
    typedef std::unique_ptr<boost::asio::io_service::work> asio_worker;

    struct ThreadPool {
        ThreadPool(size_t threads) :service(), working(new asio_worker::element_type(service)) {
            while(threads--)
            {
                auto worker = boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &(this->service));
                g.add_thread(new boost::thread(worker));
            }
        }

        template<class F>
            void enqueue(F f){
                service.post(f);
            }

        ~ThreadPool() {
            working.reset(); //allow run() to exit
            g.join_all();
            service.stop();
        }

        private:
        boost::asio::io_service service; //< the io_service we are wrapping
        asio_worker working;
        boost::thread_group g; //< need to keep track of threads so we can join them
    };
}

一块代码使用它:

{
    bamthread::ThreadPool tp(n_threads);
    BOOST_FOREACH(int y, boost::irange(starty, endy, step)){
        int im_x = 0;
        BOOST_FOREACH(int x, boost::irange(startx, endx, step)){
            tp.enqueue (boost::bind(&camera_view_depth::threaded_intersection, this,
                        intersections, 
                        intersected,
                        im_x,
                        im_y,
                        _faces, x, y));
            ++im_x;
        }
        ++im_y;
    }
}

Answer 3

从boost 1.66.0开始，有一个thread_pool类：

#include <boost/asio/thread_pool.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/post.hpp>

boost::asio::thread_pool pool(4); // 4 threads
boost::asio::post(pool, [] {});
pool.join();
