gcc 4.7.2
Apache Portable Runtime

Hello,

I am getting started with apr using threads. My program will be using a lot of threads and I want to use a thread pool so that I can better control them.

However, the apr doesn’t really have much documentation about creating thread pools. I have looked at the following api’s

/* Create the threading pool */
apr_thread_pool_create

/* Would I still need to do this, as the below api will create new thread? */
apr_thread_create

/* Or would this be better */
apr_procattr_create

/* When all finished */
apr_thread_pool_destroy

Documentation seems to be very limited with APR.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

    I believe APR thread pool existed at an older time when these APIs weren’t prevalent in the regular Java runtimes. These days, you should take a look at java.util.concurrent…

    I’m linking you to something that tells you how to use it.

    Edit: Sorry, I needed to go to a third party hosted Java tutorial for this.
