Linux C一个简单的线程池示例: 固定数目线程池

1. 目标

Linux C编写一个简单的固定数目的线程池, 实现向线程池添加任务并执行的功能.

2. 固定数目线程池fixedthreadpool

类似于java的newFixedThreadPool, 线程池中的子线程数目固定, 在创建时由用户, 可以用一个线程队列来描述. 当用户需要用线程池执行任务时, 可以将作业加入等待队列, 如果线程队列有可用线程, 就从作业等待队列出队, 加入线程队列末尾. 这样确保, 任务执行的FIFO特性.
用双向循环链表实现队列, 保证FIFO特性同时, 确保高执行效率.
参考: Java线程池

要实现的固定数目线程池模型, 如下图所示:

3. 优缺点分析

优点:
1)线程池线程数目固定, 可以实现一定并发量, 同时又不会因为插入用户作业数过多而导致线程数目爆炸, 以至于服务器运行效率反而降低;
2)较通用的线程池模型, 可以应对大多数需要线程池运行用户作业的场景;
3)支持的用户作业数量无限, 不会丢失用户作业;
4)FIFO方式运行用户作业, 所有作业都能得到执行;
5)适合短小, 特别一次运行的用户作业任务;

缺点:
1)频繁创建用户作业节点, 效率低下, 而且可能导致内存碎片问题;
解决办法: 固定一个数目的用户作业队列数量, 只有超出限制时, 才新建节点用于新作业存储;

2)将评估线程数目的难题交给了用户, 不仅不友好, 而且存在使用不当的风险: 数目过大, 会浪费资源; 数目过小, 无法达到高效率并发运行作业的目的.
解决办法: 参考java的newCachedThreadPool, 维护一个固定数目的线程队列(工作队列), 然后超限值时, 才新建新的工作节点; 小于限值时, 回收空闲节点.

3)不适用于长期运行而不退出的作业任务, 否则其他线程长期无法得到执行, 而且线程池可能无法销毁;

4)不适用于需要优先执行的作业的场景;
