C++11 threaded job queue

workqueue

A C++11 threaded job queue

##Purpose

C++11 lacks a threadpool implementation and std::async will, by default, spawn a new thread for each workunit in most implementations. This is an unfortunate situation. Although there exist libraries like boost::threadpool and boost::asio, these libraries are needlessly large and include more features than are actually needed for a simple worker thread implementation.

This library seeks to provide a simple worker queue that targets C++11's std::thread implementation.

##Notes

Compiles with GCC with the following CXXFLAGS:

-std=c++11 -Wall -pthread -lpthread
