Zthread

The correct title of this article is zthread. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.

zthread is a cross-platform high-level object-oriented C++ library, which provides an interface to both POSIX Pthread and Windows API threads. It's licenced under MIT License.

ZThread is superior to other threading C++ libraries available: such as Boost threads, POCO. The main advantages compared to other implementations:

Clean, minimal and complete interfaces
Rich set of primitives
Uses modern design techniques, such as policy based design, which makes the library extendable
Thread objects life cycle management
Priority mutex, condition, semaphore
Ability to cancel, interrupt threads in a manner similar to Java (with some limitations on when these events may take place)
Executor interface decouples Task execution from method of execution. Thread pool is a special executor
Queue support (Locked, Blocking, Bounded, Monitored)
