经典用例

#include <iostream>
#include <thread>void hello()
{std::cout << "hello concurrent world" << std::endl;
}int main()
{std::thread t(hello);t.join();
}

编译

g++ -g test.cpp -o out -lpthread

代码中注意点

• 管理线程的函数和类在<thread>中声明，而保护共享数据的函数和类在其他
  头文件中声明
• 每个线程都必须具有一个初始函数(initial function)，新线程的执行从这个函数开始。对于应用程序来说，初始线程是main()，但是对于其他线程，可以在 std::thread 对象的构造函数中指定——本例中，被命名为 t 的 std::thread 对象使用新函数 hello()作为其初始函数。
• 与直接写入标准输出或是从 main()调用 hello()不同，该程序启动了一个新的线程来实现，使线程数量增加到两个——初始线程始于 main()，而新线程始于hello()
• 新的线程启动后，初始线程继续执行。如果它不等待新线程结束，它就将继续运行到main()的结尾，从而结束程序——这有可能发生在新线程运行之前。这就是为什么在这里调用 join()的原因，这会使得调用线程(在 main()中)等待与 std::thread
  对象相关联的线程，即这个例子中的 t。
