Sleep for a Specific Amount of Time
Explore how to effectively suspend thread execution in C++20 using sleep_for() and sleep_until() functions from the std::this_thread namespace. Understand how to specify durations and time points with chrono literals to control thread timing in concurrent programming.
We'll cover the following...
We'll cover the following...
The <thread> header provides two functions for putting a thread to sleep, sleep_for() and sleep_until(). Both functions are in the std::this_thread namespace.
How to do it
Let's look at how to use the sleep_for() and sleep_until() functions:
The sleep-related functions are in the
std::this_threadnamespace. Because it has just a few symbols, we'll go ahead and issue using directives forstd::this_threadandstd::chrono_literals:
using namespace std::this_thread;using namespace std::chrono_literals;
