@section release-3-7-0_summary Release Summary
This release introduces a new exception interface to help identify C++ errors
in taskflow programs.
@section release-3-7-0_new_features New Features
@subsection release-3-7-0_taskflow_core Taskflow Core
+ Improved scheduling performance of dependent asynchronous tasks
+ Improved scheduling performance of module task by removing busy looping
+ Improved tf::Executor::wait_for_all using C++20 atomic wait
+ Improved tf::Notifier using C++20 atomic wait
+ Improved worker-thread ID mapping performance using C++20 atomic wait
+ Added `-Wshadow` to the compilation check
+ Added tf::AsyncTask::is_done to query the completion status of an async task
+ Added tf::Taskflow::remove_dependency to remove dependencies from the graph
+ Added support for exception in tf::Taskflow and tf::Executor
@code{.cpp}
tf::Executor executor;
tf::Taskflow taskflow;
taskflow.emplace([](){ throw std::runtime_error("exception"); });
try {
executor.run(taskflow).get();
}
catch(const std::runtime_error& e) {
std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
}
@endcode
+ Modified the CI to exclude exception test under sanitizers
+ Modified the tf::PartitionerBase to allow defining custom closure wrappers
@code{.cpp}
std::atomic<int> count = 0;
tf::Taskflow taskflow;
taskflow.for_each_index(0, 100, 1,
[](){
printf("%d\n", i);
},
tf::StaticPartitioner(0, [](auto&& closure){
// do something before invoking the partitioned task
// ...
// invoke the partitioned task
closure();
// do something else after invoking the partitioned task
// ...
}
);
executor.run(taskflow).wait();
@endcode
@subsection release-3-7-0_utilities Utilities
@section release-3-7-0_bug_fixes Bug Fixes
+ Fixed compilation error of CUDA examples caused by not including `for_each.hpp`
+ Fixed the runtime error of tf::Taskflow::for_each_index when the range invalid
@section release-3-7-0_breaking_changes Breaking Changes
+ Renamed tf::Runtime::join to tf::Runtime::corun_all
