Threadpool in C

A very basic thread pool implementation in C.

Instructions

./build.sh
./bin/tpool-example

Send SIGUSR1 signal to add a task to the pool.

Note: This is a very basic implementation, more features will be added in the near future.

Usage

Include the src/tpool.h file into your project, and add src/tpool.c during compilation.

1. Creating a thread pool

int tpool_init(tpool *pool, size_t thread_count);

2. Adding a task to the pool

ssize_t tpool_add_task(tpool *pool, void* (*start_routine)(void*), void* args);

returns: -1 on error, otherwise gives the assigned task id

3. Destroying thread pool

int tpool_destroy(tpool *pool);
