    Nope, it's definitely a problem with your code, not an external problem. This is an inevitable result when your threading scheme is not watertight. I don't have any code snippets since I'm just remembering what I've done in the past on projects, but if you can't design it to work yourself I suggest using a library. You said you've been "dealing with [multithreading] for some time now and think I have a decent understanding" but that doesn't sound like you really have a solid theoretical understanding of the subject, especially considering that it's a notoriously difficult subject. My recommendation is either to go back and plan out a watertight synchronization scheme on paper (may require finding some lecture series on multithreading theory), or to use an off-the-shelf thread pool library like this one I just found by googling thread pool library. I suggest the former if this is a hobby project, but if this code has a possibility of ever being used by other people I suggest doing the latter.

    Hi, I am looking for a header-only C++14 (or lower) quality thread pool. Ideally, it would be similar to BS::thread_pool but in C++14. Most of them I find on GitHub are bloated (e.g. concurrencpp) or have many open Issues. Ideal usage would be similar to:

    There are lots of them and many are built into the OS(e.g. GCD on mac's, Windows has a thread pool api, TBB on all of them...)

    It would be neat if the github site https://github.com/bshoshany/thread-pool or the paper did some comparisons to the existing body out there.
