I am looking for good books/resources for introducing how to use the thread library with C++0x. I have searched amazon.com and SO without informative post.
I asked a similar question myself recently: Where can I find good, solid documentation for the C++0x synchronization primitives?
And I got back a fantastic answer: C++ Concurrency in Action by Anthony Williams
The JustThread library at the end of that link also has good Doxygen documentation as well as implementations of a lot of the C++ threading stuff, though it’s a commercial library :-/.
Lastly, you can get a pre-release PDF of this book. I’ve gotten it myself, and I can tell you that it’s a pretty good book.
gcc/g++ implements more of this than they let on. While it’s not yet complete, they have a decent implementation of the classes for threads and futures and they also implement the atomic family of classes which allow for some fairly fine-grained synchronization that you would normally only be able to achieve by somehow getting memory barrier instructions into your code by hand.
