2022-12-09SL-18809: Add WorkSchedule; remove timestamps from WorkQueue.Nat Goodspeed
For work queues that don't need timestamped tasks, eliminate the overhead of a priority queue ordered by timestamp. Timestamped task support moves to WorkSchedule. WorkQueue is a simpler queue that just waits for work. Both WorkQueue and WorkSchedule can be accessed via new WorkQueueBase API. Of course the WorkQueueBase API doesn't deal with timestamps, but a WorkSchedule can be accessed directly to post timestamped tasks and then handled normally (e.g. by ThreadPool) to run them. Most ThreadPool functionality migrates to new ThreadPoolBase class, with template subclass ThreadPoolUsing<WorkQueue> or ThreadPoolUsing<WorkSchedule> depending on need. ThreadPool is now an alias for ThreadPoolUsing<WorkQueue>. Importantly, ThreadPoolUsing::getQueue() delivers a reference to the specific queue subclass type, so you can post timestamped tasks on a queue retrieved from ThreadPoolUsing<WorkSchedule>::getQueue(). Since ThreadPool is no longer a simple class but an alias for a particular template specialization, introduce threadpool_fwd.h to forward-declare it. Recast workqueue_test.cpp to exercise WorkSchedule, since some of the tests are time-based. A future todo would be to exercise each applicable test with both WorkQueue and WorkSchedule.
