TaskTree - generic solution for automatic management of asynchronous tasks (C++)
TaskTree automatically manages a chain (or a tree) of asynchronous tasks of mixed types.
The recipe on how to run and manage the conglomerate of tasks is described in a declarative way in C++.
The recipes are enclosed in copyable value-type objects and may be run many times, or be part of more general recipes.
The TaskTree is currently broadly used in QtCreator, for executing Build / Deploy configurations, Locator filter, Clang tool, Autotests, and much more...
The TaskTree's implementation is separated from the QtCreator specific code and may already serve as a general purpose solution outside of QtCreator.
