线程池如上一篇随笔（http://www.cnblogs.com/zzqcn/p/3585003.html）提到的内存池一样，也是一种池化策略，在启动时(或者更高级的，运行时按一定策略分配）预先开启N个线程，当没有工作要做时，这些线程处于睡眠中；一旦有工作加入工作队列，其中的某些线程就会醒来，处理这些工作，完成后继续睡眠 。
要实现线程池（只针对本文的简单实现而言），应设计和构建3样东西：
- 含N个线程的线程组
- 工作队列
- 工作线程例程
线程组和工作队列表示如下：
/* * Threads: * * +----------+----------+------+------------+ * | thread 0 | thread 1 | .... | thread n-1 | * +----------+----------+------+------------+ * * Job Queue: * * back front * | | * v v * +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ * | job 0 | -> | job 1 | -> ... -> | job x | * +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ * */
线程组可以用普通数组或者动态分配的数组实现，维数就是池中线程数量，存放的其实是线程ID。工作队列可以直接用C++ queue容器实现。
工作线程例程（线程函数）的大致执行流程如下图所示：
/* * * Each Thread Routine: * Job-Queue * | ... * v | * +-------+ +---------+ EnQueue * +---> | sleep | (No job) | new job | <--------- Client * | +-------+ +---------+ * | | | * | | DeQueue +---------+ * | + <----------- | new job | * | | +---------+ * | v * | +---------+ * | | do work | * | +---------+ * | | * | | * +----<----+ * */
工作队列中没有工作时它就睡眠 ，有工作时苏醒，从队列首部取出（&删除）一个工作，然后开始执行。
另外，我们还需要一个互斥锁L和一个计数信号量S，互斥锁用来同步工作队列的增删操作，计数信号量用来对工作队列中的工作数量进行记录。工作线程会一直等待S，直到它大于0。
下面给出完整代码。
