What are the new threading features in C++11?

C++11 introduced several threading features, including the <thread> library, which allows for easy thread creation and management.

Can you explain how to create a thread using the <thread> library?

Sure! You can create a thread by instantiating a std::thread object and passing a function to it. For example: std::thread t(myFunction);

What about thread synchronization? How is it handled in C++11?

C++11 provides several synchronization mechanisms, such as std::mutex for mutual exclusion and std::lock for managing locks.

Are there any examples of using std::mutex?

Yes! You can use std::mutex to protect shared data. For example:

std::mutex mtx;

void safeIncrement(int &value) { std::lock_guardstd::mutex lock(mtx); ++value; }
