C threads helper lib

A small library to help with parallel function execution

Functions

Funcion	Description
pool_t* pool_new	Creates a new pool
void pool_free(pool_t** pool)	Frees up memory allocated to store a pool
void pool_do(pool_t* pool, void* func, void* arg)	Runs given function with arguments in parallel
void pool_join(pool_t* pool)	Waits for all parallel tasks to finish

Test example

#include "../src/cthlib.h"
#include <threads.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdatomic.h>


void job(int* i) {
    printf("start: %d\n", *i);
    thrd_sleep(&(struct timespec){.tv_sec=2}, NULL);
    *i = *i + 1;
    printf("end: %d\n", *i);
}

atomic_int count = 0;

int main() {
    pool_t* p = pool_new();
    
    for (size_t i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        // Runs in parallel
        pool_do(p, job, (void*) &count);
    }

    pool_join(p);
    pool_free(&p);
}
