Can this replace pthreads?

[eabase]

I'm wondering if this can somehow replace the pthreads ?

TBB doesn't provide you a fine-grained control over threads like pthreads do. What it does is provides you various interfaces (e.g. parallel algorithms like parallel_for, parallel_sort or ) to easily write a parallel application. So it depends on what you are going to achieve: for example if you are trying to implement a parallel version of some algorithm or just trying to do some work asynchronously then TBB is an appropriate choice for this. You can take a look at our documentation https://uxlfoundation.github.io/oneTBB/ to find some examples of usage of oneTBB.
