task_group

[scheduler.task_group]

A task_group represents concurrent execution of a group of tasks. Tasks can be dynamically added to the group while it is executing.

// Defined in header <tbb/task_group.h>

namespace tbb {

    class task_group {
    public:
        task_group();
        ~task_group();

        template<typename Func>
        void run( Func&& f );

        template<typename Func>
        task_group_status run_and_wait( const Func& f );

        task_group_status wait();
        void cancel();
    };

    bool is_current_task_group_canceling();

} // namespace tbb

Member functions

task_group()

Constructs an empty task_group.

~task_group()

Destroys the task_group.

Requires: Method wait must be called before destroying a task_group, otherwise, the destructor throws an exception.

template<typename Func>
void run(Func &&f)

Adds a task to compute f() and returns immediately. The Func type must meet the Function Objects requirements from [function.objects] ISO C++ Standard section.

template<typename Func>
task_group_status run_and_wait(const Func &f)

Equivalent to {run(f); return wait();}, but guarantees that f() runs on the current thread. The Func type must meet the Function Objects requirements from the [function.objects] ISO C++ Standard section.

Returns: The status of task_group. See task_group_status.

task_group_status wait()

Waits for all tasks in the group to complete or be cancelled.

Returns: The status of task_group. See task_group_status.

void cancel()

Cancels all tasks in this task_group.

Non-member functions

bool is_current_task_group_canceling()

Returns true if an innermost task_group executing on this thread is cancelling its tasks.
