OpenMP or PThreads?

OpenMP or PThreads?

node.js

Yes.

PPL jk lol

Serious question:

Why does anyone need more than the standard threading functionality in C11 or C++11? Why do you need this external shit?

Hint: C++11 still uses the pthreads library.

>>5
*11 are relatively new standards. Most compilers don't even fully support C99 yet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99#Implementations

Convincing people to modify their code to start using new language features isn't going to work till compiler support matures.

People have been using Pthreads and OpenMP, both of which are mature and robust, for a long time quite successfully.

Go (golang.org) has amazing multithreading support. Give Go a look if you get a chance, it's a beautiful language.


package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math/rand"
    "time"
)

const (
    Threads = 10
)

func uselessFunction(c chan int) {
    c <- rand.Int() % 100
}

func main() {
    //A Channel is a way to send messages across threads
    c := make(chan int)

    rand.Seed(time.Now().Unix())

    //The go keyword spawns a given function in a new thread
    for i := 0; i < Threads; i++ {
        go uselessFunction(c)
    }

    //The <- operator means recieve, reading from a channel blocks
    //until data is sent.
    for i := 0; i < Threads; i++ {
        fmt.Println(<-c)
    }
}

back to the imageboards, ``please''!

lol epic fail
u mad bro?

Go is a shining example of worse is better

Thanks for making me really the jwz piece

Goes to show you. If it ain't Lisp, it's crap!

If it's Lisp, it's shit.

If it ain't shit, it's crap.

Rules:
If it ain't Lisp, it's crap.
Lisp is shit.
