Boost :: thread without splash?

Question

Is there a way to use streaming capabilities without the whole boost library? What are the minimum h and cpp files needed for this?

thanks

In accordance with the foregoing, you need at least

#include <boost/thread.hpp>

Answer 2

You need to use the boost bcp tool , which will copy only those parts of boost that are necessary for any of your libraries of choice.

Answer 3

Actually a small library created for this purpose: TinyThread ++

It gives you (sort of) a subset of the upcoming standard C ++ 0x streaming API in one .h file and one .cpp file (no complex build, no dependencies). And, it is very portable (and open source, of course).

Hope this helps ...

Answer 4

Soon you will have std :: thread as a standardized version.

If you have access to C ++ 0x, your favorite compiler may already implement some of these things, for example gcc 4.5 +
