If you’re in C++ land, you might take a look at Boost ASIO. It’s not just for IPC and would give you portable code.

And in C++ can also use this dead-simple header file for a nice high-level, modern threadpool using function objects (lambdas) for very easy parallelization of arbitrary tasks: https://github.com/progschj/ThreadPool
Simple bit of code for a simple threadpool.
I spotted a bug in it though which may manifest itself depending on platform.
What did you find? The code is quite widely used, and I’ve also used it extensively for years without any problems.
