C++ threaded class design from non-threaded class
- by macs
I'm working on a library doing audio encoding/decoding. The encoder shall be able to use multiple cores (i.e. multiple threads, using boost library), if available. What i have right now is a class that performs all encoding-relevant operations.
The next step i want to take is to make that class threaded. So i'm wondering how to do this.
I thought about writing a thread-class, creating n threads for n cores and then calling the encoder with the appropriate arguments. But maybe this is an overkill and there is no need for another class, so i'm going to make use of the "user interface" for thread-creation.
I hope there are any suggestions.
