Concurrency with Modern C++

Concurrency with Modern C++

By: Rainer Grimm

Overview of this book

C++11 is the first C++ standard that deals with concurrency. The story goes on with C++17 and will continue with C++20/23. Concurrency with Modern C++ is a practical guide that gets you to grips with concurrent programming in Modern C++. Starting with the C++ memory model and using many ready-to-run code examples, the book covers everything you need to improve your C++ multithreading skills. You'll gain insight into different design patterns. You'll also uncover the general consideration you have to keep in mind while designing a concurrent data structure. The final chapter in the book talks extensively about the common pitfalls of concurrent programming and ways to overcome these hurdles. By the end of the book, you'll have the skills to build your own concurrent programs and enhance your knowledge base.

Anti-Pattern

An pattern stands for best practices, an anti-pattern stands for a lesson learned, or to use the words from Andrew Koenig: “Those that describe a bad solution to a problem which resulted in a bad situation.” If you carefully read the literature to concurrency patterns, you often find the double-checked locking pattern. The general idea of the double-checked locking pattern is in one sentence the thread-safe initialisation of shared state in an optimised way. This shared state is typically a singleton. I intentionally put the double-checked locking pattern in the case studies chapter of this book to emphasise it explicitly: naively usage of the double-checked locking pattern may end in undefined behaviour. The issues of the double-checked locking pattern boil essentially down to the issues of the singleton pattern.

If you want to use the singleton pattern, you have to think about the following challenges:

  • First and foremost, the singleton is a global...
