How is the standard std :: thread?

I noticed that many of the classic C ++ link sources that have been updated for C ++ 11, like cplusplus.com and the Josuttis Standard Library Reference , do not seem to contain any documentation whatsoever on the C ++ 11 standard concurrency library functions, such as std::thread, std::atomicand std::async.

Are these concurrency functions somehow "less standard" than other standard libraries? Or is the documentation simply missing for some other reason?

All the libraries you referenced are indeed part of the C ++ 11 standard. In fact, many language rules have been redesigned to describe how operations work in a multi-threaded environment (previously the specification did not specify any semantics for how the threads would work )

I can’t say why the documentation on these sites is not enough, because I don’t know who runs them, but streams, atoms, etc., of course, are part of C ++ 11.

In the corresponding note, I would strongly suggest not using cplusplus.com as a link. It is known that in the past there were some inaccuracies, and other sites (namely cppreference.com) are much more complete and accurate.

Hope this helps!
