Hi,
I have read that the threading programming proposed in new C++ standard
(C0x11)
(It was informally called C++0x but is now published and often
referred to as C++11, but calling it C++0x11 makes no sense.)
is supported by GCC but only a small subset of features are available.
So for the moment is better to use the boost thread library (that should be the
same adopted by new standard, correct me if I'm wrong) or the complete support
by GCC is not so far?
Since you suggest Boost as an alternative I assume you are only
talking about the new library classes (since that's all Boost
provides). The library features are almost complete:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/status.html#status.iso.200x
There is more work to be done for the core language features:
http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Atomic/
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Atomic/GCCMM
Those don't seem to mention that the branch was recently merged into
trunk. That doesn't make the support complete though.
