Concurrency in modern C++

This repository contains a list of small experiments for modern c++ concurrency.

The basics

These experiments address basic questions such as :

• What are the possible ways to build a thread ?
• How to pass parameters to a thread ?
• How to transfer the ownership of a thread ?
• What are the useful operations on threads ?
• Ensure single execution in multithreaded context ?
• ...

Some tests on more advanced topics

It should also provide sample code examples for more advanced topics such as :

• RAII Thread wrapper
• Thread-safe Cout wrapper
• Communication between threads...
  • using mutex and condition_variable
  • using promise and shared_future
• Thread-safe Stack : Access to shared data and locking mechanisms
• Thread safe queue : Using condition_variables
• Background tasks using std::async
• Usage of std::packaged_task
• Lock-based thread-safe data structures and algorithms
  • custom std::find implementation using std::packaged_task
• Thread pools
• ...

The latest features

I will also try to understand the enhancements of the latest c++ standards C++17/C++20.

• STL algorithms execution policy
• JThread
  • Usage example
  • Custom JThread implementation
• Coroutines

Ressources

This repository is highly inspirated by books and online ressources such as :

• C++ concurrency in action.
• Effective Modern C++.
• Effective C++.
• C++17 in detail

Of course, the ressources used will be quoted in each sample code.
