C++ threads
The native multithreading support in C++ is covered extensively in Chapter 5, Native C++ Threads and Primitives.
As mentioned earlier in the Boost section of this chapter, the C++ multithreading support is heavily based on the Boost threads API, using virtually the same headers and names. The API itself is again reminiscent of Pthreads, though with significant differences when it comes to, for example, condition variables.
Upcoming chapters will use the C++ threading support exclusively for examples.
