It * consists of two distinct interfaces: thread pools and thread process * queues (a queue of both jobs to-do and of the results of completed jobs). * Do not confuse "process" here with a unix PID; rather it is analogous to a * program reading a stream of data blocks, processing them in some manner, * and outputting a stream of new data blocks. * * The pool of threads is given a function pointer and void* data to pass in. * This means the pool can run jobs of multiple types, albeit first come * first served with no job scheduling except to pick tasks for the * processes that have room to store the result. * * Upon completion, the return value from the function pointer is * added to back to the process result queue if required. We may have * multiple "processes" in use for the one pool. * * To see example usage, please look at the #ifdef TEST_MAIN code in * thread_pool.c. */ #ifndef HTSLIB_THREAD_POOL_H #define HTSLIB_THREAD_POOL_H #include "hts_defs.h" #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif /*----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Opaque data types. * * Actual definitions are in thread_pool_internal.h, but these should only * be used by thread_pool.c itself. */ /* * An hts_tpool_process implements a queue of input jobs to process and a * queue of resulting output post-processing.
