C 11 Multithreaded Task(-let) Scheduling

Overview

Schedule independent Task(-lets) to execute at predefined times, and optionally repeat at constant intervals. The tasks will be executed on 3 threads (scheduler.cpp:127, sorry about that), managed by the scheduler itself on the main thread.

Obviously, perfect timing cannot be guaranteed, but no task will execute before its time. A task may execute multiple times simultaneously on seperate threads if its repeat interval is shorter than its execution duration. The scheduler itself is designed to be thread-safe (although I am no expert).

TODO

• Task prioritization, in case of "traffic jams".
• Is it really safe to execute a function object on different threads simultaneously? Are lambda closures thread-safe?
