# tinypool-rs
***tinypool*** is a simple thread pool implementation in Rust.
A thread pool is a collection of threads that can be used to execute jobs concurrently.
The aim of this crate is to provide a simple, easy-to-use thread pool that can be used in any project.

### Example (1)
```rust
use tinypool::ThreadPool;
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
let mut threadpool = ThreadPool::new(Some(4)).unwrap();
let counter = Arc::new(Mutex::new(0));
for _ in 0..100 {
let counter_thrd = Arc::clone(&counter);
threadpool.add_to_queue(move || {
let mut counter = counter_thrd.lock().unwrap();
*counter += 1;
});
}
threadpool.join();
assert_eq!(*counter.lock().unwrap(), 100);
```
### Example (2)
```rust
use tinypool::ThreadPool;
use std::sync::mpsc;
let mut threadpool = ThreadPool::new(Some(4)).unwrap();
let (tx, rx) = mpsc::channel();
for i in 0..100 {
let tx = tx.clone();
threadpool.add_to_queue(move || tx.send(i).unwrap());
}
drop(tx);
let mut sum = 0;
while let Ok(i) = rx.recv() {
sum += i;
}
assert_eq!(sum, 4950);
