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.

The New Algorithms

The new algorithms are in the std namespace. The algorithms std::for_each and std::for_each_n require the header <algorithm>. The remaining six other algorithms require the header <numeric>.

Here is an overview of the new algorithms.

The new algorithms
Algorithm Description
std::for_each Applies a unary callable to the range.
std::for_each_n Applies a unary callable to the first n elements of the range.
std::exclusive_scan Applies from the left a binary callable up to the ith (exclusive) element of the range. The left argument of the callable is the previous result. Stores intermediate results. If the binary callable is non-associative the result is non-deterministic.
  Similar to std::partial_sum
std::inclusive_scan Applies from the left a binary callable up to the ith (inclusive) element of...
