This chapter explains how to build multithreaded programs. It also discusses the use of exceptions, explains how to share C++ Standard Library objects across threads, and describes how to use classic (old) iostreams in a multithreading environment.
For more information about multithreading, see the Multithreaded Programming Guide.
See also the OpenMP API User's Guide for information on using OpenMP shared memory paralellization directives to create multithreaded programs.
