threaded

Minimalist Thread Pool in Rust

Glanceable source code for prototypes seeking brevity with transparency.

Stability

Experimental

Threaded is not fully covered nor benched let alone comparatively performance tested.

Branching Strategy

Trunk Based Development

Usage

use threaded::ThreadPool;

// start thread pool with fixed capacity of 2 workers (single producer, multiple consumer; spmc)
let tp = ThreadPool::new(2);

tp.execute(|| println!("hello threaded!")); // execute function in pool

let _num_workers = tp.capacity(); // get capacity of pool

// once tp goes out of scope, drop is called
// drop joins worker threads subsequently blocking main thread until workers finish

drop(tp); // manually trigger drop and join threads
