In a previous post about locks in C++11 I have shown a dummy implementation of a container class that looked like this (simplified): template <typename T> class container { std::recursive_mutex _lock; std::vector<T> _elements; public: void dump() { std::lock_guard<std::recursive_mutex> locker(_lock); for(auto e : _elements) std::cout << e << std::endl; } }; One can argue that the … Read more
In the previous post in this series we have seen the C++11 support for locks and in this post we continue on this topic with condition variables. A condition variable is a synchronization primitive that enables blocking of one or more threads until either a notification is received from another thread or a timeout or … Read more
In a previous post I introduced the C++11 support for threads. In this article I will discuss the locking features provided by the standard that one can use to synchronize access to shared resources. The core syncing primitive is the mutex, which comes in four flavors, in the <mutex> header: mutex: provides the core lock() … Read more
