Question

I got an problem, im programing an antihack program but i dont have idea how to repeat an function every x time like ThreadPool in java.
I think something like that:

while(true)
{
    //Bad Procces its def before
    if(badprocces())
        ExitApplication(1);
}
//Other code there

But the other code not gona to be runned because the while dont allow it.

Else i think something like that:

while(true)
{
//Bad Procces its def before
    if(badprocces())
        ExitApplication(1);
    if(anotherCheck())
        ExitApplication(1);
}

But i guess isn’t the best way.

Its is possible? (Create a call ThreadPool like in java).
How to? (Whit example better)
Another Solution? (Better whit example)

Okay, that it’s all.
Thanks for read and for response.

Answer 1

if you want a timer like program you can make it easily like this, however I would encapsulate it in a class.

std::atomic_bool go(true);

std::thread t([&](){
     while(go){
         do_work();
         //wait (create a timer basically)
         std::this_thread::sleep_for( std::chrono::milliseconds(5) );
     }
});

//do stuff (or wait for user input)
go=false;
t.join();

If you don’t have C++11 support than you can use the boost alternatives with lambdas.

I aren’t certain whether or not the automatic variable is strictly necessary.

It should be noted that this is not a thread pool but a single thread that loops with wait.
