Threads and Concurrency with C++ : 31.2 Introduction
Copyright © 2003-2009 ZeroC, Inc.

31.2 Introduction

Threading and concurrency control vary widely with different operating systems. To make threads programming easier and portable, Ice provides a simple thread abstraction layer that allows you to write portable source code regardless of the underlying platform. In this chapter, we take a closer look at the threading and concurrency control mechanisms in Ice for C++.
Note that we assume that you are familiar with light-weight threads and concurrency control. (See [8] for an excellent treatment of programming with threads.) Also see Section 32.10, which provides a language-neutral introduction to the Ice threading model.
