c++ - threads - ¿Qué implementaciones std:: async usan grupos de hilos?

threads on c++

Question

Se supone que una de las ventajas de usar std::async lugar de crear manualmente objetos std::thread es que std::async puede usar pools de hilos bajo las cubiertas para evitar problemas de sobresuscripción. Pero, ¿qué implementaciones hacen esto? Según tengo entendido, la implementación de Microsoft sí lo hace, pero ¿qué hay de estas otras implementaciones async ?

• Libstdc de Gnu
• Gnu''s libc ++
• La biblioteca de Just Software
• Boost (para boost::thread::async , no std::async )

Gracias por cualquier información que pueda ofrecer.

Prueba Black-Box

Aunque la comprobación de "caja blanca" se puede realizar inspeccionando fuentes boost, libstdc ++ o libc ++, o comprobando documentación como just::thread o MSVC Concurrency Runtime , ¡pero no puedo negarme el placer de escribir el código C ++ 11!

He hecho una prueba de caja negra :

Como se puede ver, MSVC sí reutiliza los subprocesos, es decir, es muy probable que su esquema sea una especie de grupo de subprocesos.
