It is used to construct thread.
2 (destructor)

It is used to destructor thread.
3 operator=

It is a move-assign thread.
4 get_id

5 joinable

It is used to check if joinable.
6 join

7 detach

It is used to detach thread.
8 swap

9 native_handle

Non-member overloads

Sr.No. Non-member overload & description
1 swap (thread)

Example

In below example for std::thread.

#include <iostream>
#include <thread>

void foo() {
   std::cout << " foo is executing concurrently...\n";
}

void bar(int x) {
   std::cout << " bar is executing concurrently...\n";
}

int main() {
   std::thread first (foo);
   std::thread second (bar,0);

   std::cout << "main, foo and bar now execute concurrently...\n";

   first.join();
   second.join();

   std::cout << "foo and bar completed.\n";

   return 0;
}

The output should be like this −

main, foo and bar now execute concurrently...
 bar is executing concurrently...
 foo is executing concurrently...
foo and bar completed.
