As most examples in tests and the documentation are rather contrived these examples here are provided to show task-pool workflows in real applications that actually do something.
First build task-pool and install to some temporary location
git clone https://github.com/benny-edlund/task-pool.git
cd task-pool
cmake -S . -B ./build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install
cmake --build ./build
cmake --install ./buildNext build one or all the examples using this installed version.
The examples has some external dependencies, fmt, CLI11, boost (headers) and turbojpeg so conan may take a while to download and potentially compile the dependencies
cd examples
conan install . --output-folder=build
cmake -S . -B ./build -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/install
cmake --build ./build(macOS, Linux)
This example generates an image collage by querying Wikipedia using curl in multiple threads. It has an intentially poor design that requires jobs to handle failues and get retried.
./{build_folder}/collage/example_collage ./output.jpg(macOS, Linux) This example contains a hello-world style webserver. It feature building a pipeline with the pipe api to handle requests without sharing any state with the main application.
./{build_folder}/webserver/example_http 127.0.0.1 -p 8081(Windows, macOS, Linux)
This example generates random images and builds a processing pipeline from a polymorphic processor class then compresses the resulting image to jpeg and saves it to disk. The pipeline is build mapping member function pointer onto base instances in the standard api.
