Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Of note is a new feature that allows to portably determine the cache line size for the L1 cache, std::hardware_destructive_interference_size and std::hardware_constructive_interference_size."

A block of code is set as follows:

std::vector<double> v;
… add data to v … 
std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(),[](double& x){ ++x; });

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Main thread: 140003570591552
Coroutine started on thread: 140003570591552
Main thread done: 140003570591552
Coroutine resumed on thread: 140003570587392
Coroutine done on thread: 140003570587392

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "When CPU1 sees the result of the atomic write operation executed by CPU0 with the release memory order, it is guaranteed that the state of the memory, as seen by CPU1, already reflects all operations executed by CPU0 before this atomic operation."
