How can I use the C++ thread library for advanced multithreading?

You can use the C++ thread library to create and manage threads, allowing for concurrent execution of tasks. What specific features are you interested in?

I'm particularly interested in thread synchronization and avoiding race conditions.

For synchronization, you can use mutexes, condition variables, and locks. These help prevent race conditions by ensuring that only one thread accesses shared data at a time.

Can you provide an example of using a mutex?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <mutex>

std::mutex mtx;
int shared_data = 0;

void increment() {
    mtx.lock();
    ++shared_data;
    mtx.unlock();
}

int main() {
    std::thread t1(increment);
    std::thread t2(increment);
    t1.join();
    t2.join();
    std::cout << "Shared data: " << shared_data << std::endl;
}

This code safely increments shared_data using a mutex.
