Setting limit on post queue size with Boost Asio?

Question

I\'m using boost::asio::io_service as a basic thread pool. Some threads get added to io_service, the main thread starts posting handlers, the worker threads start r

Answer 1

I'm using the semaphore to fix the handlers queue size. The following code illustrate this solution:

void Schedule(boost::function function)
{
    semaphore.wait();
    io_service.post(boost::bind(&TaskWrapper, function));
}

void TaskWrapper(boost::function &function)
{
    function();
    semaphore.post();
}
