std:: thread

Defined in header
<thread>

||
class
thread
;
|
(since C++11) | |
The class
thread
represents
a single thread of execution
. Threads allow multiple functions to execute concurrently.
Threads begin execution immediately upon construction of the associated thread object (pending any OS scheduling delays), starting at the top-level function provided as a constructor argument . The return value of the top-level function is ignored and if it terminates by throwing an exception, std::terminate is called. The top-level function may communicate its return value or an exception to the caller via std::promise or by modifying shared variables (which may require synchronization, see std::mutex and std::atomic ).
std::thread
objects may also be in the state that does not represent any thread (after default construction, move from,
detach
, or
join
), and a thread of execution may not be associated with any
thread
objects (after
detach
).
No two
std::thread
objects may represent the same thread of execution;
std::thread
is not
CopyConstructible
or
CopyAssignable
, although it is
MoveConstructible
and
MoveAssignable
.

Member classes
represents the
id
of a thread
(public member class) |
Member functions
constructs new

(public member function) |
|
destructs the thread object, underlying thread must be joined or detached

moves the thread object
(public member function) |
|
Observers |
|
checks whether the thread is joinable, i.e. potentially running in parallel context
(public member function) |
|
returns the
id
of the thread
(public member function) |
|
returns the underlying implementation-defined thread handle
(public member function) |
|
[static]
|
returns the number of concurrent threads supported by the implementation
(public static member function) |
Operations |
|
waits for the thread to finish its execution
(public member function) |
|
permits the thread to execute independently from the thread handle
(public member function) |
