Software here is provided as example of making some interesting
|
|
things and applications using the Tcl threading extension.
|
|
|
|
Currently, following packages are supplied:
|
|
|
|
tpool/ Example Tcl-only implementation of thread pools.
|
|
The threading extension includes an efficient
|
|
threadpool implementation in C. This file is
|
|
provided as a fully functional example on how this
|
|
functionality could be implemented in Tcl alone.
|
|
|
|
phttpd/ MT-enabled httpd server. It uses threadpool to
|
|
distribute incoming requests among several worker
|
|
threads in the threadpool. This way blocking
|
|
requests may be handled much better, w/o halting
|
|
the event loop of the main responder thread.
|
|
In this directory you will also find the uhttpd.
|
|
This is the same web-server but operating in the
|
|
event-loop mode alone, no threadpool support.
|
|
This is good for comparison purposes.
|
|
|
|
cmdsrv/ Socket command-line server. Each new connection
|
|
gets new thread, thus allowing multiple outstanding
|
|
blocking calls without halting the event loop.
|
|
|
|
To play around with above packages, change to the corresponding
|
|
directory and source files in the Tcl8.4 (or later) Tcl shell.
|
|
Be sure to have the latest Tcl threading extension installed in
|
|
your package path.
