ZThreads
ZThreads is a cross-platform high-level object-oriented C++ library, which provides an interface to application programming interface (API) threads for POSIX Pthreads and Windows API threads. It is licensed under the MIT License and authored by Eric Crahen.
ZThread is one of several C++ threading libraries available: such as Boost, POCO, and TBB.
It provides many advanced features, such as:
- Clean, minimal and complete interfaces
- Rich set of primitives
- Uses modern design techniques, such as policy based design
- Thread objects life cycle management
- Priority mutex, condition, semaphore
- Ability to cancel, interrupt threads via means similar to Java
- Executor interface decouples task execution from execution method; thread pool is a special executor
- Queue support: locked, blocking, bounded, monitored
