ThreadPool

This is a C++11 port based on the fast thread pool from Martin Vorbrodt.

From his great blog posts:

• Simple Thread Pool
• Advanced Thread Pool

How to use

Just drop src/threadpool to your project

Example

thread_pool         pool;

auto work = [](const char *name) {
    printf("Hello %s!\n", name);
};

auto task = [](int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
};

pool.enqueue_work(work, "work");
auto result = pool.enqueue_task(task, 2, 3);
printf("Result: %d\n", result.get());

Note that work is 5-10x faster than task.
