SimpleThreadPool

SimpleThreadPool is a C++ header-only simple library that provides a basic implementation of a thread pool. It allows you to easily distribute tasks across multiple threads for concurrent execution.

Usage

To use SimpleThreadPool in your project, follow these steps:

1. Copy the SimpleThreadPool.h file into your project directory.

2. Include the SimpleThreadPool.h header in your source file where you want to use the thread pool:

   #include "SimpleThreadPool.h"

3. Create an instance of the SimpleThreadPool class by specifying the desired number of threads in the thread pool:

   SimpleThreadPool threadPool(threadCount);

4. Define a task that you want to execute concurrently. The task can be any callable object (e.g., function, lambda, functor). Make sure the task returns a value.

5. Submit the task to the thread pool using the Post member function:

   auto future = threadPool.Post(task);

   The Post function returns a std::future object that can be used to retrieve the result of the task.

6. Wait for the tasks to complete and retrieve the results using the get function of the std::future objects.

7. After using the thread pool, call the Destroy member function to stop all threads and wait for them to finish their current tasks:

   threadPool.Destroy();
