You can then call pool.get_results<Result>() +to retrieve a list of all the results, that the worker callbacks returned +for each input item. Example: + +```v +import sync.pool + +struct SResult { + s string +} + +fn sprocess(pp &pool.PoolProcessor, idx int, wid int) &SResult { + item := pp.get_item<string>(idx) + println('idx: $idx, wid: $wid, item: ' + item) + return &SResult{item.reverse()} +} + +fn main() { + mut pp := pool.new_pool_processor(callback: sprocess) + pp.work_on_items(['1abc', '2abc', '3abc', '4abc', '5abc', '6abc', '7abc']) + // optionally, you can iterate over the results too: + for x in pp.get_results<SResult>() { + println('result: $x.s') + } +} +``` + +See https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/vlib/sync/pool/pool_test.v for a +more detailed usage example. |
