Summary  |  Top

   public ThreadPool(Flow flow, 
                     Object variousSchedulerParameters, 
                     ThreadScheduler scheduler) 

Create a new ThreadPool.

The variousSchedulerParameters and scheduler parameters hardly even qualify as hacks.

XXX This should take a ThreadPoolSpec as a parameter.

   public Thread threadStart(Runnable r) 

Create an explicit thread and return that thread handle. This is a new thread which is not subject to whatever concurrency limit the ThreadPool has. But, it will be scheduled by the ThreadPool's scheduler.

Parameter	Description
r	the Runnable to start the target thread on.

   void addWork(WorkItem wi) 

Add a task to the ThreadPool's task list.

XXX what happens if the same WorkItem is enqueued more than once?

   public Flow getFlow() 

   boolean livePool() 

   void enqueueWorkItem(WorkItem wi) 

   WorkItem dequeueWorkItem() 

   void signalWorkers() 

   void doWork() 

Do the work on this ThreadPool.

This function never returns.
