riften::Thiefpool

A blazing-fast, lightweight, work-stealing thread-pool for C++20. Built on the lock-free concurrent riften::Deque.

Usage

#include "riften/thiefpool.hpp"

// Create thread pool with 4 worker threads.
riften::Thiefpool pool(4);

// Enqueue and return future.
auto result = pool.enqueue([](int x) { return x; }, 42);

// Get result from future.
std::cout << result.get() << std::endl;

Additionally, riften::Thiefpool supplies a detaching version of enqueue:

// Enqueue and return nothing
pool.enqueue_detach([](int x) { do_work(x); }, x);

Which elides the allocation of a std::future's shared state.
