[det]thread_pool_create(+Pool,
+Size, +Options)Create a pool of threads. A pool of threads is a declaration for
creating threads with shared properties (stack sizes) and a limited
number of threads. Threads are created using
thread_create_in_pool/4.
If all threads in the pool are in use, the behaviour depends on the wait
option of
thread_create_in_pool/4
and the backlog
option described below. Options
are passed to thread_create/3,
except for
- backlog(+MaxBackLog)
- Maximum number of requests that can be suspended. Default is
infinite
.
Otherwise it must be a non-negative integer. Using backlog(0)
will never delay thread creation for this pool.
The pooling mechanism does not interact with the detached
state of a thread. Threads can be created both detached
and
normal and must be joined using thread_join/2
if they are not detached.
