What should I know about multithreading and when to use it, mainly in C ++

Question

I have never met multithreading, but I hear about it everywhere. What should I know about this and when to use it? I code mostly in C ++.

Answer 1

Basically, you need to learn about MT libraries in the OS on which your application should run. Until C ++ 0x becomes a reality (this is far from the case now), there is no language support or a standard library for streams. I suggest you take a look at the standard POSIX pthreads library for * nix and Windows threads to get started.

If after all this you are still interested in starting the long difficult path to writing a multi-threaded C ++ program that will not be random, then I recommend starting with Increase Threads . They are well documented, at a high level and work on a cross-platform. Concepts (mutexes, locks, futures) are the same key concepts that are present in all thread libraries.
