→C++ 11
Openmp offers a easier solution for mutual exclusion and preventing race conditions within its section constructs as the programmer does not have to worry about initializing and destroying locks.
A critical section works by acquiring a lock, which carries a substantial overhead. Furthermore. If a thread is in one critical section, the other ones are all blocked.
=====C++ 11=====
The C++ 11 thread libraries provide the mutex class to support mutual exclusionand synchronization. <br>
The mutex class is a synchronization primitive that can be used to protect shared data from being accessed by multiple threads.
std::mutex is usually not accessed directly, instead std::unique_lock and std::lock_guard are used to manage locking.
