It keeps old threads around // for a period of time to allow them to be reused. After this waiting period, // the threads exit. This thread pool uses non-joinable threads, therefore // worker threads are not joined during process shutdown. This means that // potentially long running tasks (such as DNS lookup) do not block process // shutdown, but also means that process shutdown may "leak" objects. Note that // although LinuxDynamicThreadPool spawns the worker threads and manages the // task queue, it does not own the worker threads. The worker threads ask the // LinuxDynamicThreadPool for work and eventually clean themselves up. The // worker threads all maintain scoped_refptrs to the LinuxDynamicThreadPool // instance, which prevents LinuxDynamicThreadPool from disappearing before all // worker threads exit. The owner of LinuxDynamicThreadPool should likewise // maintain a scoped_refptr to the LinuxDynamicThreadPool instance. // // NOTE: The classes defined in this file are only meant for use by the Linux // implementation of WorkerPool. No one else should be using these classes. // These symbols are exported in a header purely for testing purposes. #ifndef BASE_WORKER_POOL_LINUX_H_ #define BASE_WORKER_POOL_LINUX_H_ #include <queue> #include <string> #include "base/basictypes.h" #include "base/condition_variable.h" #include "base/lock.h" #include "base/platform_thread.h" #include "base/ref_counted.h" #include "base/scoped_ptr.h" class Task; namespace base { class LinuxDynamicThreadPool : public RefCountedThreadSafe<LinuxDynamicThreadPool> { public: class LinuxDynamicThreadPoolPeer; // All worker threads will share the same |name_prefix|.
