RcppThread 0.5.1

BUG FIXES

• Fix portability issues related to native_handle_type.

• Fix signed/unsigned comparison in parallelFor().

• Fix signed/unsigned warnings in unit tests.

RcppThread 0.5.0

DEPENDENCIES

• Rcpp is no longer a hard dependency, but only used for unit tests. This avoids unneccessary compilation time during package installation.

NEW FEATURES

• New vignette available, see browseVignettes("RcppThread").

• New functions parallelFor() and ForEach() allowing parallel for loops with load balancing. Can also be called as method of a ThreadPool.

• Options to override std::thread and std::cout with RcppThread equivalents using preprocessor variables RCPPTHREAD_OVERRIDE_THREAD and RCPPTHREAD_OVERRIDE_COUT.

• Several minor performance optimizations.

RcppThread 0.4.0

NEW FEATURE

• New function ThreadPool::map() that allows to map a function a list of items.

RcppThread 0.3.0

NEW FEATURE

• A ThreadPool can now be intantiated with zero threads in the pool. It will then do all work pushed to it in the main thread.

RcppThread 0.2.0

NEW FEATURE

• ThreadPool has a new method wait() that waits for all jobs to be done without joining the threads. This way the thread pool can be re-used for different types of tasks that need to be run sequentially.

RcppThread 0.1.3

BUG FIX

• Don’t check print ouptut of multi-threaded code b/c of random results.

RcppThread 0.1.2
