I would like to evaluate my threading options for a Visual C++ 2010 (non-managed) console application.
Can anybody suggest a good reference for the native Win32 threading API?
What non-native options are recommended?
Thanks!
Best,
Dave
For non-native(really these just wrap the native options) options its basically between boost(now part of C++11) and pthreads. For native thread developement you have either WinAPI or CRT threads, thanks to some recent-ish bug fixes, WinAPI is your better option, which is basically
CreateThread, MSDN has all the documentation you need under the threading and synchronization sections, but I’d recommend using boost/C++11 threads just to make life simpler coding-wise.
