Threads
Simple example programs using threads, mutex and logging:
Threads with POSIX:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX_Threads
Start and run with:
$ g++ -Wall -O3 pthreads.cpp -o pthreads -lpthread; ./pthreads
+ simple, join() exists
- runs only under POSIX OS
Threads with Qt:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qthreadpool.html
Start and run with:
$ tar -xzf qthreads.tar.gz
$ cd qthreads/
$ qmake; make; ./qthreads
+ runs under OS which have Qt, signal & slot capable
- join() is called wait()
Threads with Boost:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/doc/html/thread.html
Start and run with:
$ g++ -Wall -O3 bthreads.cpp -o bthreads -lboost_thread-mt; ./bthreads
+ runs under OS which have boost, elaborate, join() exists
- constructor starts the thread
Update: Boost threads are now handled with thread_group (Thanks, João!).
Update2: Qt threads are handled by QThreadpool now (Again thanks, João!).
