just::thread C++11 and C++14 Thread Library V2.2 released

Wednesday, 30 September 2015

I am pleased to announce that version 2.2 of just::thread, our C++11 and C++14 Thread Library has just been released with full support for the latest draft of the Concurrency TS, and support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.

New features

New facilities from the Concurrency TS:

• A lock-free implementation of atomic_shared_ptr and atomic_weak_ptr — see my earlier blog post on atomic_shared_ptr
• Latches — signal waiting threads once a specified number of count-down events have occurred.
• Barriers — block a group of threads until they are all ready to proceed.
• future::then() — schedule a task to run when a future becomes ready.
• when_any() — create a future that is ready when any of a set of futures is ready.
• when_all() — create a future that is ready when all of a set of futures are ready.

Also:

• jss::joining_thread — a simple wrapper around std::thread that always joins in its destructor.

• Microsoft Windows XP and later:
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015
