Execeutors are an implementation of the Executor pattern. This is a more versatile construct than a thread pool. A paper describing can be found in the proceedings of the 2002 VikingPLOP conference.

Executing

• execute()ing task with an Executor will submit the task, scheduling it for execution at some future time depending on the Executor being used.

Disabling

• cancel()ing an Executor will cause it to stop accepting new tasks.

Interrupting

• interrupt()ing an Executor will cause the any thread running a task which was submitted prior to the invocation of this function to be interrupted during the execution of that task.

Waiting

• wait()ing on a PoolExecutor will block the calling thread until all tasks that were submitted prior to the invocation of this function have completed.

(

const Task &

task

)

[pure virtual]
