如何让boost :: asio :: io_service ::在其线程中运行boost :: thread_group更小?

标签: c++ multithreading boost threadpool boost-asio

一般来说,我看到它是common way to create thread pools via "io_service + thread_group"。它非常适合const大小的线程池。或者只能变大的游泳池。但是我想知道如何在不停止所有io_service的情况下让这样的游泳池更小?

所以我们有shown

// class variables
asio::io_service io_service;
boost::thread_group threads;
asio::io_service::work *work;

// some pool init function
work = new asio::io_service::work(io_service);
int cores_number = boost::thread::hardware_concurrency(); 
  for (std::size_t i = 0; i < cores_number; ++i)
    threads.create_thread(boost::bind(&asio::io_service::run, &io_service));

// and now we can simply post tasks
io_service.post(boost::bind(&class_name::an_expensive_calculation, this, 42));
io_service.post(boost::bind(&class_name::a_long_running_task, this, 123));

// and it is really eazy to make pool biger - just call (mutexes may be required)
threads.create_thread(boost::bind(&asio::io_service::run, &io_service));

但是如果我们想从线程池中删除线程呢?我们不能简单地调用threads.remove_thread(thread* thrd);,因为它不会停止在&asio::io_service::run(恕我直言)中运行所以我想 - 是否可能以及如何真正从这样的池中删除线程? (不仅仅是打断tham而是等到当前线程任务超出范围)?

这是一些简单的可编译代码:线程池,线程需要生命周期。

        threads.add_thread(thread.get());
        lock.unlock();

        task->join();

        throw std::runtime_error("killed joined thread");

    }
}

int main()
{
    time_limit = 500;

    work = new boost::asio::io_service::work(io_service);
    int cores_number = boost::thread::hardware_concurrency(); 
    for (std::size_t i = 0; i < cores_number; ++i)
    {

        boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread> thread;
        boost::packaged_task<void> pt(boost::bind(run, thread));
        thread = boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread>( new boost::thread(std::move(pt)));
        threads.add_thread(thread.get());
    }

    int i = 800;
    io_service.post(boost::bind(pool_item, i));

    boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(i*2));
    std::cout << "thread should be removed by now." << std::endl
        << "group size:" << threads.size() << std::endl;

    std::cin.get();
    return 0;
}

正如您所见,即使在.remove_thread(ptr);调用之后,线程池中的线程也未被删除。=(为什么?

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:3)

过去我能够通过利用run()在回调引发异常时退出的事实来实现这一点。如果抛出适当的异常,我调用一个退出线程的实用程序函数,而不是直接在线程中启动run()

void RunIOService()
{
   try
   {
       io_service.run();
   }
   catch(std::exception ex)
   {
   }
}

然后你所要做的就是安排一个会引发异常的回调:

static void KillThreadCallback() 
{
    // throw some exception that you catch above
}

io_service.post(&KillThreadCallback);

这将导致执行此回调的线程退出,从而实际上将线程池计数大小降低1.使用此方法,您可以非常轻松地扩展和收缩io_service线程池。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

可用于干净地关闭I / O服务的一种模式是(使用C ++ 0x lambdas):

void ThreadLoop()
{
    while(m_keepRunning) {
        try {
            io_service.run_one();
        } catch(const std::exception& e) {
            // error handling
        }
    }
}

void Stop()
{
   // Using C++0x lambdas
   io_service.post([=]{ m_keepRunning = false; });
   // or
   io_service.post(boost::bind(&ThisClass::StopCallback, this));
}

void StopCallback()
{
   m_keepRunning = false;
}

m_keepRunning 是成员变量。只应在I / O服务线程中触及。
