std::thread vs CreateThread

从 C++11 开始，线程，成为了 C++ 标准库的一部分，所以我们可以不再使用 CreateThread 来创建线程，简简单单地使用 std::thread 即可。

而且，CreateThread 是平台相关的，而 std::thread 是跨平台的。

例：

// MultiThreadConsole.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>

using namespace std;

static bool is_resouce_ready = false;
static bool to_terminate = false;
static thread* worker_thread = nullptr;

void foo();


int main()
{
    cout << "Main thread start." << endl;

    worker_thread = new std::thread(foo);

    this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(1));
    is_resouce_ready = true;

    this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(3));
    to_terminate = true;

    this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(1));
    cout << "Main thread is ending." << endl;

    return 0;
}

void foo()
{
    cout << "Worker thread start." << endl;

    while (!is_resouce_ready && !to_terminate) {}
    cout << "Worker thread is working." << endl;

    while (!to_terminate)
    {
        cout << "LOOP" << endl;
        this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(500));
    }

    cout << "Worker thread is ending." << endl;
}
