Thread-Safe Initialization

Explore thread-safe initialization in C++ by learning how to safely prepare shared variables without costly locks or atomics. Understand three main techniques including constant expressions, std::call_once with std::once_flag, and static block scope variables. This lesson helps you grasp crucial steps for managing shared data safely when working with threads in C++.

We'll cover the following...

If a variable is never modified, there is no need for synchronization by using an expensive lock or an atomic. We only have to ensure that it is initialized in a thread-safe ...
