copied!<p>Well, technically any such object will wind up being built over a C-style thread library because C++ only just specified a stock <a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread" rel="noreferrer"><code>std::thread</code></a> model in c++0x, which was just nailed down and hasn't yet been implemented. The problem is somewhat systemic, technically the existing c++ memory model isn't strict enough to allow for well defined semantics for all of the 'happens before' cases. Hans Boehm wrote an paper on the topic a while back and was instrumental in hammering out the c++0x standard on the topic.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2004/HPL-2004-209.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2004/HPL-2004-209.html</a></p> <p>That said there are several cross-platform thread C++ libraries that work just fine in practice. Intel thread building blocks contains a tbb::thread object that closely approximates the c++0x standard and Boost has a boost::thread library that does the same.</p> <p><a href="http://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/thread.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/thread.html</a></p> <p>Using boost::thread you'd get something like:</p> <pre><code>#include <boost/thread.hpp> void task1() { // do stuff } void task2() { // do stuff } int main (int argc, char ** argv) { using namespace boost; thread thread_1 = thread(task1); thread thread_2 = thread(task2); // do other stuff thread_2.join(); thread_1.join(); return 0; } </code></pre>
