Constructor & Destructor Documentation

toast::async::worker::worker

(

bool

complete = false

)

spawn a thread and begin processing requests

Requests accepted specifically by this worker take priority, but when none exist requests dispatched via dispatcher::dispatch will be processed.

A complete argument of true tells the worker that it must finish all of its requests before exiting. An argument of false (the default) tells it to abandon any pending requests at exit.

Member Function Documentation

void toast::async::worker::push

(

request const &

r

)

request some work to be done specifically by this worker.

If you don't need the work done by a specific worker send it to a worker_pool instead. If you need to push many requests call the other push.

void toast::async::worker::push

(

std::list< request > &

l

)

request some work to be done specifically by this worker.

All requests in the list will be pushed to the worker. The list will be empty after the call.
