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

Methods of Threads in Practice

Explore key thread methods in Modern C++ and learn how they manage concurrent execution. Understand thread behavior, synchronization points like join, and challenges of shared mutable variables to write safer multithreaded programs.

We'll cover the following...

Some of the most commonly used thread methods are mentioned in the following code widget:

C++
// threadMethods.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
using namespace std;
int main(){
  cout << boolalpha << endl;
  cout << "hardware_concurrency()= "<< thread::hardware_concurrency() << endl;
  thread t1([]{cout << "t1 with id= " << this_thread::get_id() << endl;});
  thread t2([]{cout << "t2 with id= " << this_thread::get_id() << endl;});
  cout << endl;
  cout << "FROM MAIN: id of t1 " << t1.get_id() << endl;
  cout << "FROM MAIN: id of t2 " << t2.get_id() << endl;
  cout << endl;
  swap(t1,t2);
  cout << "FROM MAIN: id of t1 " << t1.get_id() << endl;
  cout << "FROM MAIN: id of t2 " << t2.get_id() << endl;
  cout << endl;
  cout << "FROM MAIN: id of main= " << this_thread::get_id() << endl;
  
  cout << endl;
  
  cout << "t1.joinable(): " << t1.joinable() << endl;
  
  cout << endl;
  t1.join();
  t2.join();
  
  cout << endl;
  
  cout << "t1.joinable(): " << t1.joinable() << endl;
  cout << endl;
}

In combination with the ...
