Hello all.
I would like to learn how to build a multi-threaded application, but I don't even really know where to start.
How do most people implement multi-threading? Do they use the boost library? Is there some other way to do it? (using standard C / C++)
I understand the concept, but totally have no idea where to even start to actually learn how to do it. Can anyone recommend anything?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7t9ha0zh%28v=VS.80%29.aspx <--- Are these standard C++, or some Microsoft-only implementation?
Am I correct that the multithreading libraries are contained in the Windows API? I found an example on MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/esszf9hw%28v=VS.80%29.aspx) and the functions it uses (ReleaseMutex, etc) seem to be in windows.h. Is this what most people are using when they do Windows programming?
Thanks!
Russel
