Condition Variables
Explore how condition variables enable thread synchronization in Modern C++. Understand the typical sender-receiver use cases, the key methods for notification and waiting, and challenges such as lost wakeup and spurious wakeup. This lesson helps you grasp how to manage thread coordination effectively in concurrent programming.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
Condition variables enable threads to be synchronized via messages.
They need the
<condition_variable>header.
One thread acts as a sender, and the other acts as the receiver of the message. The receiver waits for a notification from the sender. Typical use cases for condition variables are sender-receiver or producer-consumer workflows.
A condition variable can be the sender or the receiver of the message.
The following table details the different condition variables and ...
