boost threadpool - documentation and examples

Question

I'm looking for documentation on boost::threadpool. I downloaded the source and documentation zip files. The documentation directory is just about empty. It says to look at src/examples/mergesort.cpp. It ain't there. In fact, there is no src/examples directory.

Anyone know if there is a Roseta Stone, and if so where?

Answer 1

In the Boost Vault - Concurrent Programming there are a couple of libs, check async and boost.task. The documentation is included in the packages. Personally, I have used async and was pleased. Make sure you find the docs, there ARE there in the dir tree. afaik there are no more docs for threadpool.sourceforge.net
