What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A minimal but powerful thread pool implementation in ANSI C built on POSIX threads. It provides a simple API for initializing pools, dispatching work, waiting, pausing/resuming, and destroying pools.
Use cases
- run tasks concurrently in a C program
- parallelize work across worker threads
- process a job queue with a fixed number of threads
- pause and resume background workers
- wait for all submitted jobs to finish before continuing
When to choose
- you need a small, dependency-free thread pool in C
- you want POSIX-compliant code that compiles anywhere with pthreads
- you need fine control like pausing/resuming workers
When to avoid
- you need a C++ thread pool with std::async or futures
- you need work stealing or priority scheduling
- your project targets platforms without POSIX threads
