cpp-concurrency

C++ implementation of golang style concurrency

Usage

Use existing single header concurrency.hpp or run script to merge multiple headers in directory concurrency.

python -m script.merge

Include concurrency.hpp to use it.

#include "concurrency.hpp"

ThreadPool<int> pool;
LChannel<int> channel;
WaitGroup wg;

Sample

Send tick and bomb

g++ -o tick ./sample/tick.cpp -std=c++17 -lpthread #linux
cl /EHsc /std:c++17 ./sample/tick.cpp              #windows

Calculate directory size concurrently.

g++ -o dir_size ./sample/dir_size.cpp -std=c++17 -lstdc++fs -lpthread
cl /EHsc /std:c++17 ./sample/dir_size.cpp

Channel

• RChannel : finite capacity channel, if capacity exhausted, block channel and wait for space.
• LChannel : list like channel.

Add and get from channel.

RChannel<std::string> channel(3);
channel.Add("test");

std::optional<std::string> res = channel.Get();
assert(res.value() == "test");

With stream operator

channel << "test";

std::string res;
channel >> res;

Golang style channel range iteration.

LChannel<int> channel;
auto fut = std::async(std::launch::async, [&]{ 
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
        channel << i;
    }
    channel.Close();
});

for (auto const& elem : channel) {
    std::cout << elem << ' ';
}
std::cout << std::endl;

Thread Pool

• ThreadPool : finite task thread pool, if capacity exhausted, block new and wait for existing tasks to be terminated.
• LThreadPool : list based thread pool.

Add new tasks and get return value from future.

ThreadPool<int> pool;
std::future<int> fut = pool.Add([]{
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
        sum += i;
    }
    return sum;
});

assert(fut.get() == 1 + 2 + 3 + 4);

Wait Group

Wait until all visits are done.

WaitGroup wg;
wg.Add();

auto fut = std::async(std::launch::async, [&]{
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(2s);
    wg.Done();
});

auto start = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
wg.Wait();
auto end = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();

std::cout << std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::seconds>(end - start).count();

Select

Channel operation multiplexer, samples from tick.cpp

auto tick = Tick(100ms);
auto boom = After(500ms);

bool cont = true;
while (cont) {
    select(
        case_m(*tick) >> []{ 
            std::cout << "tick." << std::endl; 
        },
        case_m(*boom) >> [&]{ 
            std::cout << "boom !" << std::endl;
            cont = false; 
        },
        default_m >> [&]{
            std::cout << "." << std::endl;
            sleep(50ms);
        }
    );
}
tick->Close();
