What are some advanced threading techniques in C++?

Advanced threading techniques in C++ include thread pools, futures and promises, and condition variables. Would you like to explore any of these in detail?

Can you explain how thread pools work?

Sure! A thread pool is a collection of pre-initialized threads that can be reused for executing tasks. This reduces the overhead of creating and destroying threads for each task.

What are futures and promises?

Futures and promises are synchronization primitives that allow you to retrieve a value from a thread that may not have completed yet. A promise is used to set a value, while a future is used to retrieve it.

How do I use condition variables?

Condition variables are used for signaling between threads. You can use them to block a thread until a particular condition is met, allowing for efficient thread synchronization.
