Tasks async / detached ? And no execution of task on a single core machine ?

[hexa00]

Hi,

I would like the task to run and then delete itself without having to explicitly wait for it from another thread or keep a reference to it in my code. Is it possible ? I'm having problems with for example this code :

[cpp]#include 
#include 

/*
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/tbb30_20110704oss/lib/:/usr/lib"

g++ -L/opt/bb30_20110704oss/lib -ltbb -I/opt/tbb/tbb30_20110704oss/include main.cc -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib
*/

class MyTask: public tbb::task {

public:
  MyTask() {}
  ~MyTask() {}
   tbb::task* execute() {
      std::cout << "Task execute " << std::endl;
      sleep(1);
      std::cout << "Task execute end" << std::endl;
  }
};

void create_task()
{
  MyTask& task = *new(tbb::task::allocate_root()) MyTask();
  std::cout << "Task spawning task" << std::endl;
  tbb::task::spawn(task);
  std::cout << "Task create sleep" << std::endl;
  sleep(10);
  std::cout << "Task create sleep end" << std::endl;
}

int main(int ac, char* av[])
{
  create_task();
  std::cout << "Main sleep start" << std::endl;
  sleep(10);
  /// Wait for all ??
}[/cpp]

On a dual core I will get :

./a.out

Task spawning task

Task create sleep

Task execute

Task execute end

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And on a single core the task is just not executed :

./a.out

Task spawning task

Task create sleep

Task create sleep end

Main sleep start

No crash...

I'm really missing something here, if anyone would like to explain It would be apreciated ...

Thank you!

For such "fire-and-forget" scenario, use tbb::task::enqueue(your_task).

Indeed thanks! Seems my reference doc was outdated...

But I still get the crash at the end in both cases dual & single core.. any ideas on this : ? (Same code but with ::enqueue)

WIth :tbb30_20110704oss on Ubuntu gcc 4.3 64bit...
