Basic Multi thread examples in C++

[rajeshckk]

I need a basic C++ example for the multi threading. I am building up a source code. I have been working on Unix C++ and now need to build up MS windows and as such windows dont support pthread.h, is there an equivalent for it and i can code with it?? Thanks, Rajesh.

Look at the boost.org[^]-page. Boost is a semi-official enhancement of the C++ runtime environment - full of usefull and high-quality code: They employ a strict peer-review). Here is the link for boost threads[^].

Boost has no acceptance on the Windows platform.

Where did you get this erroneus information? :confused: Boost is about high-quality standard C++. Not more and not less. And on Windows, quality code is as accepted as anywhere. So is boost. BTW. Big parts of the code now on boost will become official part of the next version of the C++ standard.

While in general I support using Boost libraries, in this particular case I would advise against it. Boost Threads development seems to be all but dead since the original author left it, and the Standard will probably adopt a different approach.[^]

OK. I did not know that. All I can say is that Boost Threads works flawlessly here in a few projects. It is certainly more complete and of better quality than most of the thread-wrapper classes floating around (and better than anything I could build!)
