    typename Allocator>
void dispatch(
    Function && f,
    const Allocator & a) const;

This function is used to ask the thread pool to execute the given function object. If the current thread belongs to the pool, dispatch() executes the function before returning. Otherwise, the function will be scheduled to run on the thread pool.

void function();

a

An allocator that may be used by the executor to allocate the internal storage needed for function invocation.
