Native C++ Threads and Primitives

Starting with the 2011 revision of the C++ standard, a multithreading API is officially part of the C++ Standard Template Library (STL). This means that threads, thread primitives, and synchronization mechanisms are available to any new C++ application without the need to install a third-party library, or to rely on the operating system's APIs.

This chapter looks at the multithreading features available in this native API up to the features added by the 2014 standard. A number of examples will be shown to use these features in detail.

Topics in this chapter include the following:

  • The features covered by the multithreading API in C++'s STL
  • Detailed examples of the usage of each feature
