class jthread; | (since C++20) | |
The classjthread
representsa single thread of execution. It has the same general behavior asstd::thread, except thatjthread
automatically rejoins on destruction, and can be cancelled/stopped in certain situations.
Threads begin execution immediately upon construction of the associated thread object (pending any OS scheduling delays), starting at the top-level function provided as aconstructor argument. The return value of the top-level function is ignored and if it terminates by throwing an exception,std::terminate is called. The top-level function may communicate its return value or an exception to the caller viastd::promise or by modifying shared variables (which may require synchronization, seestd::mutex andstd::atomic).
Unlikestd::thread, thejthread
logically holds an internal private member of typestd::stop_source
, which maintains a shared stop-state. Thejthread
constructor accepts a function that takes astd::stop_token as its first argument, which will be passed in by thejthread
from its internalstd::stop_source. This allows the function to check if stop has been requested during its execution, and return if it has.
std::jthread
objects may also be in the state that does not represent any thread (after default construction, move from,detach, orjoin), and a thread of execution may be not associated with anyjthread
objects (afterdetach).
No twostd::jthread
objects may represent the same thread of execution;std::jthread
is notCopyConstructible orCopyAssignable, although it isMoveConstructible andMoveAssignable.
