I'm new to c++ and I was looking into some c++ cross-platform thread tutorials. I was looking into this: http://solarianprogrammer.com/2011/12/16/cpp-11-thread-tutorial/
and was trying to execute the following code:
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
static const int num_threads = 10;
//This function will be called from a thread
void call_from_thread(int tid) {
std::cout << "Launched by thread " << tid << std::endl;
}
int main() {
std::thread t[num_threads];
//Launch a group of threads
for (int i = 0; i < num_threads; ++i) {
t[i] = std::thread(call_from_thread, i);
}
std::cout << "Launched from the main\n";
//Join the threads with the main thread
for (int i = 0; i < num_threads; ++i) {
t[i].join();
}
return 0;
}
The output I'm getting is the following and I can not understand why:
syd@syd-HP-Compaq-dx7500-Microtower:~/Desktop$ ./ref
Launched by thread Launched by thread Launched by thread Launched by thread Launched by thread 201
Launched by thread 5
Launched by thread 6
4
Launched by thread 7
3
Launched by thread 8
Launched from the main
Launched by thread 9
I understand that the numbers are random each time, but some times I get no numbers displayed and I wonder why?
