Re: [Algorithms] General purpose task parallel threading approach

[Jarkko L. <al...@gm...>]

A job queue holds dependencies between tasks and when a task is completed
releases the depending task for execution. This is different system to
defining dependencies by waiting within a task.

How is your dependency system is supposed to work then ?  You also mean that
inside a task you can't wait for other tasks to finish (because it becomes a
'blocking within tasks') ? That's a really huge limitation imho.

Why is it a problem to execute the tasks in recursive way? Note that this
recursive way of executing tasks is used only when blocking within tasks,
not in the job queue dependency system.
