我必须编写一个执行高度计算密集型计算的程序。该程序可能会运行几天。计算可以很容易地在不同的线程中分离，而不需要共享数据。我想要通知我当前状态的 GUI 或 Web 服务。
我当前的设计使用 BOOST::signals2 和 BOOST::thread。它编译并且到目前为止按预期工作。如果一个线程完成了一次迭代并且有新数据可用，它会调用一个连接到 GUI 类中的插槽的信号。
我的问题：
- 这种信号和线程的组合是一个明智的想法吗？我另一个论坛有人建议其他人不要“走这条路”。
- 附近是否有我没有看到的潜在致命陷阱？
- 我的期望是否现实，使用我的 GUI 类来提供 Web 界面或 QT、VTK 或任何窗口将是“容易的”？
- 是否有我忽略的更聪明的替代方案（如其他提升库）？
以下代码编译为
g++ -Wall -o main -lboost_thread-mt <filename>.cpp
代码如下：
#include <boost/signals2.hpp>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>
using std::cout;
using std::cerr;
using std::string;

*/

/**
* The whole data will be stored here.
*/
class DataCollector
{
typedef boost::mutex::scoped_lock scoped_lock;
boost::mutex mutex;
public:
/**
* Called by CalcThreads call the to store their data.
*/
void push(const string &s, const string &caller_name)
{
scoped_lock lock(mutex);
_data.push_back(s);
signal_new_data(caller_name);
}
/**
* Output everything collected so far to std::out.
*/
void out()
{
typedef std::vector<string>::const_iterator iter;
for (iter i = _data.begin(); i != _data.end(); ++i)
cout << " " << *i << "\n";
}
private:
std::vector<string> _data;
};
/**
* Several of those can calculate stuff.
* No data sharing needed.
*/
struct CalcThread
{
CalcThread(string name, DataCollector &datcol) :
_name(name), _datcol(datcol)
{
}
/**
* Expensive algorithms will be implemented here.
* @param num_results how many data sets are to be calculated by this thread.
*/
void operator()(int num_results)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= num_results; ++i)
{
std::stringstream s;
s << "[";
if (i == num_results)
s << "LAST ";
s << "DATA " << i << " from thread " << _name << "]";
_datcol.push(s.str(), _name);
}
}
private:
string _name;
DataCollector &_datcol;
};
/**
* Maybe some VTK or QT or both will be used someday.
*/
class GuiClass
{
public:
GuiClass(DataCollector &datcol) :
_datcol(datcol)
{
}
/**
* If the GUI wants to present or at least count the data collected so far.
* @param caller_name is the name of the thread whose data is new.
*/
void slot_data_changed(string caller_name) const
{

}

};

{

GuiClass mc(datcol);
signal_new_data.connect(boost::bind(&GuiClass::slot_data_changed, &mc, _1));

return 0;
