Hi, guys,

The description of TBB task_scheduler_init is

Detailed Description

Class representing reference to tbb scheduler.

A thread must construct a task_scheduler_init, and keep it alive, during the time that it uses the services of class task.


I am not sure the meaning of the word A thread . Does this mean main thread or the the thread where new task is created.

Could I only create task_scheduler_init only once. Or every thread when new task is going to be created?

Thanks.

Thanks. Since I am using 3.0, so there is no need to use task_scheduler_init when creating task ,and no performance impact, right?

Normally you needn't worry about it, and rarely will it be what you'll look at to improve performance.
