module sync
// * Goal: this file provides a convenient way to run identical tasks over a list
// * of items in parallel, without worrying about waitgroups, mutexes and so on.
// *
// * Usage example:
// * struct SResult{ s string }
// * fn sprocess(p &sync.PoolProcessor, idx, wid int) voidptr {
// * item := p.get_item<string>(idx)
// * println('idx: $idx, wid: $wid, item: ' + item)
// * return &SResult{ item.reverse() }
// * }
// * pool := sync.new_pool_processor({ callback: sprocess })
// * pool.work_on_items(['a','b','c','d','e','f','g'])
// * // optionally, you can iterate over the results too:
// * for x in pool.get_results<SResult>() {
// * println('result: $x.s')
// * }
// *
// * See https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/vlib/sync/pool_test.v for a
// * more detailed usage example.
// *
// * After all the work is done in parallel by the worker threads in the pool,
// * pool.work_on_items will return, and you can then call
// * pool.get_results<Result>() to retrieve a list of all the results,
// * that the worker callbacks returned for each item that you passed.
// * The parameters of new_pool_processor are:
// * context.maxjobs: when 0 (the default), the PoolProcessor will use an
// * optimal for your system number of threads to process your items
// * context.callback: this should be a callback function, that each worker
// * thread in the pool will run for each item.
// * The callback function will receive as parameters:
// * 1) the PoolProcessor instance, so it can call
// * p.get_item<int>(idx) to get the actual item at index idx
// * NB: for now, you are better off calling p.get_string_item(idx)
// * or p.get_int_item(idx) ; TODO: vfmt and generics
// * 2) idx - the index of the currently processed item
// * 3) task_id - the index of the worker thread in which the callback
// * function is running.
