Simple example of classic Conusmer-Producer problem.

The task is following:

Producer gets parameters of quadratic equasions from command line arguments and schedules tasks to the task queue
Consumer gets tasks from task queue, if it is not empty, and solves the quadratic equation
Program should work correctl and fast, without wasting resources

Solution contains several classic patterns:

Monitors as synchronization primitives for multithreading execution
Blocking queue based on Monitrors for managing correct and safe access to its data
Poison Pill for termination working threads

Solution is crossplatform and tested on the following platforms:

Solution requires only one framework - testing framework Catch2. This framwework could be installed like that:

For MSVC on Windows vcpkg could be used
For MSYS2 and ArchLinux, catch2 could be installed from packman
On Linux different package managers could have this package in theirs repos, or you could use vcpkg also.
