Hello All, I'm working on a little client server program, and i could use a little help on the threading/synapse model i'm working on.
I have a synapse socket in a thread that only listens for incoming connections. When there is an incoming connection it accepts it and creates a class (TConnection) containing the client socket. I have a threadpool with threads that should call a method (DoWork) on the TConnection that do the actual reading / writng on the client socket. Now my question: Currently all threads in the threadpool are constantly calling the TConnection to see if there is waiting data. This makes no sense. How would you guys solve this? I was thinking about a second thread, which only does one thing: constantly loop all the TConnections to see if there is waiting data, and ifso, put it on a todo-list. This way the actual workers could all go to sleep until there is work on the todo-list. Does this make any sense? I hope I make any sense in my mail :-) Anyone willing to give some advice? Regards, Rimmert
