Anybody got some good threading tutorials in c++?
#Edit
Using boost would be fine?

ANSI C++ doesn't support multithreading.
Try looking up how to approach it using Microsoft's libraries.

I'm using C::B with GNU GCC.
Been looking at boost:
Also, isn't ANSI just C?

Have a look at Qt it has a great and easy to use threading library. Qt's documentation is also very good for learning from.

There's no standard for multi-threading in C++ (or atleast I don't think there is). If your aim is cross-platform threading, I'd take a look at boost's library.

^That, or make the transition to C++11. Totally worth it.

as the above,
want to write in complete-native c++ use boost or C++11.
want to write with great graphical framework and libraries use QT.
if i were you i would use QT

I would go for Boost before Qt. Boost is more an extension to the current standard libraries than Qt. Qt is a big framework for advanced concepts like the GUI. Else, you can easily write your own threading wrapper that will be defined by the platform and using the platform API. It's what I do for file handling and unicode. (I try to make a project without any external libraries. Else, I would use boost and iconv)
All these solutions are equivalent... They are all multi-platform and they will all use the system call interface of the OS as the threading is controlled by the kernel.
N.B. Is Boost working fine? I know that some time ago, as it was compliant to new standards, you where getting bunch of errors.

I guess C++11 will be better to use in order to make a multithreading app , it's like C# tho!
Code:
void do_work();
std::thread t(do_work);
for more info

You could also consider POSIX threads, they should be working under win32 as well, at least with Cygwin they probably do.

I have done some testing while currently working on my C++ port of my old source, and have found that in a Win32 enviroment CreateThread works definitely better and faster than POSIX threads. This was expected though, lol. Just a notice. Though you shouldn`t use CreateThread, better use the C runtime version _beginthreadex(). Boost threads win hands-down.

Socket/Threading Question
07/31/2011 - CO2 Programming - 3 Replies
Alright so I've been following InfamousNoone's C# for idiots tutorial (video set) and I've just finished watching them all. I can now say I'm very very interested in sockets and whatnot. So the problem is, I'm trying to use sockets to creating a mini Messaging client and I've gotten to the point where I can send a message back in forth. But this is how it works.
The ONLY way you can send a message is if you receive one first. That's obviously a problem! I've tried to start multiple threads...

[C++] Problem with threading
05/17/2009 - CO2 Programming - 2 Replies
Actually the problem is more like with passing a function as pointer to the CreateThread or _beginthreadex,
BOOL Connect()

if(m_Enabled != TRUE)
return FALSE;
sockaddr_in addr;
addr.sin_family = AF_INET;

[C#] Cross-Threading ?
10/14/2008 - .NET Languages - 7 Replies
Hello,
Is there a flag or whatever that lets me use crossthreading freely? Without the help of a Workerthread. Whenever I try to change a variable it doesn't let me because Crossthreading isn't safe (eg. accessing the variables from other threads), but It's also hard to find a solution for this.
I'm starting another thread that contains a function to download the source code of another page and process the wanted information into variables, however I cannot do that with a thread. The only...
