// Simple class for background tasks that should be run
// periodically or once "after a while"
//
// Usage:
//
// CScheduler* s = new CScheduler();
// s->scheduleFromNow(doSomething, std::chrono::milliseconds{11}); // Assuming a: void doSomething() { }
// s->scheduleFromNow([=] { this->func(argument); }, std::chrono::milliseconds{3});
// boost::thread* t = new boost::thread(std::bind(CScheduler::serviceQueue, s));
//
// ... then at program shutdown, make sure to call stop() to clean up the thread(s) running serviceQueue:
// s->stop();
// t->join();
// delete t;
// delete s; // Must be done after thread is interrupted/joined.
