Afer reading How To Use C++ In Go, I started to need threads in my c++ programs. Recently when i tried using it it gave me this compiler error:
error: 'thread' was not declared in this scope
thread parsed(parser, var["ExpAct"], calc_params, sendVars, dir, true, line, false);
^~~~~~
parser/parser.hpp:299:17: note: 'std::thread' is defined in header '<thread>'; did you forget to '#include <thread>'?
parser/parser.hpp:17:1:
+#include <thread>
using namespace std;
parser/parser.hpp:299:17:
but I am include the <thread> library in my code. I am using mingw-64 and when I run gcc -v I get
Using built-in specs.

I found the solution to my problem. It was not a cgo issue, but rather an installation issue. Instead of selecting posix style threads, i installed win32 threads. This style does not allow for multithreading. To fix this, I re-installed mingw-w64 with posix threads.
