thrpl.c

An implementation of Thread Pool in C.

Run an example

The thread pool uses POSIX threads, so compile using the -lpthread flag.

Debug mode:

gcc example.c thrpl.c -lpthread -DTHRPL_DEBUG -o example && ./example

Usage

git clone https://github.com/zaiic/thrpl.c
cd thrpl.c

Put thrpl.c and thrpl.h in your project or generate a header-only file and put it in your project.

Generate header-only file:

./generate_header_only.sh

Notice: The header-only file is stb style. Don't forget to put #define THRPL_IMLEMENTATION in your file before including header-only file.

#define THRPL_IMLEMENTATION

#include "thrpl.h" // header-only file
