Concurrency Improvements in C++20 - A Deep Dive

Concurrency Improvements in C++20 - A Deep Dive

Explore the concurrency improvements introduced in C++20 through this in-depth conference talk from NDC TechTown 2023. Delve into the evolution of C++'s multithreading capabilities, starting from the C++11 standard's introduction of a multithreading library and memory model. Examine the foundational building blocks such as atomic variables, threads, locks, and condition variables. Discover how C++20 builds upon this foundation to provide higher-level abstractions, including extended atomics, semaphores, latches and barriers, cooperative interruption, an improved std::jthread, and synchronized output streams. Gain valuable insights into these advanced concurrency features and their practical applications in modern C++ development.
