ConcurrentHashMap for c++

Is there any ConcurrentHashMap for c++ implementation or something of similar anywhere?

I can't understand why multithreading in c++ is so hard than Java!

Solution

  • Threads arent really supported in C++ so there isnt anything in the standard about thread safe containers. People have obviously made them before.

    I think this thing from Intel may help http://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/

    I have not used it myself yet so no guarentees.

    You can also just wrap any container in your own class with a semaphore to make it thread safe.

    Good luck.
