C++11 新标准中引入了四个头文件来支持多线程编程,他们分别是<atomic> ,<thread>,<mutex>,<condition_variable>和<future>。
下面是一个最简单的使用 std::thread 类的例子:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <thread> // std::thread
void thread_task() {
std::cout << "hello thread" << std::endl;
}
/*
* === FUNCTION =========================================================
* Name: main
* Description: program entry routine.
* ========================================================================
*/
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
std::thread t(thread_task);
t.join();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
} /* ---------- end of function main ---------- */
Makefile 如下:

all:Thread
CC=g++
CPPFLAGS=-Wall -std=c++11 -ggdb
LDFLAGS=-pthread
Thread:Thread.o
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $^
Thread.o:Thread.cc
$(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) -o $@ -c $^
.PHONY:
clean
clean:
rm Thread.o Thread
注意在 Linux GCC4.6 环境下,编译时需要加 -pthread,否则执行时会出现:
$ ./Thread terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error' what(): Operation not permitted Aborted (core dumped)
原因是 GCC 默认没有加载 pthread 库,据说在后续的版本中可以不用在编译时添加 -pthread 选项。
std::thread 在 <thread> 头文件中声明,因此使用 std::thread 时需要包含 <thread> 头文件。
| default (1) | thread() noexcept; |
|---|---|
| initialization (2) | template <class Fn, class... Args> explicit thread (Fn&& fn, Args&&... args); |
| copy [deleted] (3) | thread (const thread&) = delete; |
| move (4) | thread (thread&& x) noexcept; |
std::thread 各种构造函数例子如下(参考):

#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
#include <functional>
#include <atomic>
void f1(int n)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
std::cout << "Thread " << n << " executing\n";
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(10));
}
}
void f2(int& n)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
std::cout << "Thread 2 executing\n";
++n;
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(10));
}
}
int main()
{
int n = 0;
std::thread t1; // t1 is not a thread
std::thread t2(f1, n + 1); // pass by value
std::thread t3(f2, std::ref(n)); // pass by reference
std::thread t4(std::move(t3)); // t4 is now running f2(). t3 is no longer a thread
t2.join();
t4.join();
std::cout << "Final value of n is " << n << '\n';
}
| move (1) | thread& operator= (thread&& rhs) noexcept; |
|---|---|
| copy [deleted] (2) | thread& operator= (const thread&) = delete; |
请看下面的例子:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <chrono> // std::chrono::seconds
#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <thread> // std::thread, std::this_thread::sleep_for
void thread_task(int n) {
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(n));
std::cout << "hello thread "
<< std::this_thread::get_id()
<< " paused " << n << " seconds" << std::endl;
}
/*
* === FUNCTION =========================================================
* Name: main
* Description: program entry routine.
* ========================================================================
*/
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
std::thread threads[5];
std::cout << "Spawning 5 threads...\n";
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
threads[i] = std::thread(thread_task, i + 1);
}
std::cout << "Done spawning threads! Now wait for them to join\n";
for (auto& t: threads) {
t.join();
}
std::cout << "All threads joined.\n";
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
} /* ---------- end of function main ---------- */
