Create & Wait for Thread in C++

与ChatGPT对话：

问：
How can I use C++ to create a new thread and wait for it?

In C++, you can create a new thread and wait for it to finish using the header and the ‘std::thread’ class for threading. Here’s an example of how you can create a new thread and wait for it:

#include <iostream>
#include <thread>

// Function that will be executed in the new thread
void threadFunction() {
    std::cout << "New thread running\n";
    // Simulate some work
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(3));
}

int main() {
    // Create a new thread and pass the function to be executed
    std::thread myThread(threadFunction);

    std::cout << "Main thread waiting for the new thread to finish\n";

    // Wait for the new thread to finish execution
    myThread.join();

    std::cout << "New thread has finished, main thread exiting\n";

    return 0;
}

In this example:

1.We include the necessary headers and .

2.We define a function threadFunction that will be executed in the new thread. In this function, we print a message and simulate some work using std::this_thread::sleep_for.

3.In the main function, we create a new thread myThread and pass threadFunction as the function to be executed in the new thread.

4.We print a message indicating that the main thread is waiting for the new thread to finish.

5.We use myThread.join() to wait for the new thread to finish execution before continuing with the main thread.

6.Finally, we print a message indicating that the new thread has finished, and the main thread exits.

Make sure to compile this code with a C++ compiler that supports the C++11 standard or later, as ‘std::thread’ and related features are part of these standards.
