What are the best practices for advanced C++ threading?

What are the best practices for advanced C++ threading?

Some best practices include using smart pointers for thread safety, minimizing shared data, and using condition variables.

Can you explain how to use mutexes effectively?

Certainly! Use mutexes to protect shared resources, but avoid holding them for long periods to prevent deadlocks.

What are the differences between std::thread and std::async?

std::thread creates a new thread, while std::async may run tasks asynchronously and can return a future for results.

How can I avoid race conditions in my code?

You can avoid race conditions by using mutexes, atomic operations, or by designing your code to minimize shared state.

What tools can help me debug threading issues?

Tools like Valgrind, ThreadSanitizer, and GDB can help you identify and debug threading issues in your C++ applications.
