>Hello,
Greetings! I'm looking for a solid C++ multithreading book. Can you
recommend one? I don't think I've seen a multithreading C++ book that
everybody thinks is good (like Effective C++ or Exceptional C++, for
example). Platform-specific (e.g.: Win32, POSIX) is OK, as long as it's
good :)
Thank you,
Ray
I think this is because the C++ standard does not address multithreading in
any way. The nearest concession to concurrency is the presence of the
"volatile" keyword. No facility is specified to create multiple stacks, for
instance, or to instantiate or synchronize threads.
Multithreading in C++ is almost entirely implementation-dependent, although
there are efforts to encapsulate multithreading behavior (see boost.threads
for example).
