Hi Guys,

Just a quick question, I want to get into creating multiple threads in C++. I have done it in JAVA but I can't find any good resources for C++. After searching all I seem to find are short paragraphs or very complicated programs.

Would you know any good resources for simple examples or tutorials for using threads in C++?

Thanks in advance!

hello foohoo and everyone,

I would like to see that too since I haven't done any multithreading program before, but I would like to learn it. I searched it too, but it's just like foohoo said, only description and complicate sour code which is so hard to follow.

any tutorial would be greatful, thanks.

It would be helpful to know what platform you are using.
My experience is that threading in Java is much easier than c++, the api is just very simple in Java.

Anyways here is an example of threads in windows
http://www.codersource.net/win32_multithreading.html

Here is one using pthreads. You can use this in windows and linux

The last one I know about is boost

There is a sticky thread at the top of the C/C++ forum for requesting a tutorial. You might also want to drop your request there (with some content you might want to see covered) and DIC authors can write up a tutorial about it. You can reach this thread at...

Request a C++ Tutorial

In the meantime there are multiple tutorials on the web about this subject... here are a few to get you started.

1) C++ Multithreading Tutorial - paulbridger.net
2) Advanced Topics in Programming Language [VIDEO THROUGH GOOGLE] icon_up.gif
3) C++ Programming HOW-TO (small example for review)

Enjoy! I like the video, it is a bit complex but it does talk about threads in detail. smile.gif
