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.

ACID

A transaction is an action that has the properties Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID). Except for durability, all properties hold for transactional memory in C++.

  • Atomicity: either all or no statement of the block is performed.
  • Consistency: the system is always in a consistent state. All transactions build a total order.
  • Isolation: each transaction runs in complete isolation from the other transactions.
  • Durability a transaction is recorded.
