How do I handle errors in C++14 std::thread?

What are the best practices for error handling with std::thread in C++14?

In C++14, it's important to manage exceptions thrown by threads. You can use try-catch blocks within the thread function.

Can you give me an example of using try-catch with std::thread?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <stdexcept>

void threadFunction() {
    throw std::runtime_error("Error in thread");
}

int main() {
    try {
        std::thread t(threadFunction);
        t.join();
    } catch (const std::exception &e) {
        std::cout << "Caught exception: " << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

What happens if I don't catch exceptions in a thread?

If you don't catch exceptions in a thread, the program will call std::terminate, which will terminate the program without cleanup.

Are there any specific error handling libraries for C++?

Yes, libraries like Boost provide additional error handling mechanisms that can be useful in multithreaded applications.
