Threads
Explore the fundamentals of multithreading in Modern C++, including thread creation with std::thread, managing thread lifetimes with join and detach, and using synchronization tools such as mutexes and condition variables. Understand how to pass arguments safely, handle exceptions, and access hardware concurrency features.
Introduction
C++ has used a multithreading interface since C++11. This interface contains all the basic building blocks for creating multithreaded programs. These are called threads, which are synchronization primitives for shared data such as mutexes and locks, thread-local data, synchronization mechanism for threads such as condition variables, and tasks. These tasks are usually called promises and futures, and they provide a higher level of abstraction than native threads.
Creation of Threads
To launch a thread in C++, you must include the <thread> header.
