Modern C++ Concurrency: Get the most out of any machine

Blocking Issues

Explore key blocking issues in modern C++ concurrency through practical examples. Understand how to properly use condition variables with predicates to avoid spurious and lost wakeups, and learn the differences between deadlocks and livelocks to improve concurrent program reliability.
