You could win one of three copies of our implementation of the C++0x
thread library for Windows and Linux we have up for grabs in our
Halloween Contest.
Not only does just::thread provide a complete implementation of the
C++0x standard thread library for Windows and Linux, but it also
includes a special deadlock detection mode. If deadlocks are sucking the
life out of your multithreaded code then the deadlock detection mode can
get straight to the heart of the problem and tell you which
synchronization objects are the cause of the problem, which threads are
waiting and where. Crucially, the library will also tell you which
thread owns each object, and where it took ownership.
Entering is really easy — just write a short blog post about your
concurrency gremlins that links back to the contest page at
http://www.stdthread.co.uk/halloweencontest/. It could be that you'd
like to add multithreading to your application but don't know where to
start, or you're plagued with deadlocks (in which case you could use
your new copy of just::thread to help you find the cause!) Maybe you've
conquered all your concurrency problems, in which case I'd like to hear
about how you did it. Whatever your story, I want to know — even a
twitter-style 140-character summary would be fine.
Once you've got your blog post up, email (e-mail address removed) to let
us know. Just make sure you do it before the deadline: Halloween, 31st
October 2009. For full details and terms and conditions, see the contest
page http://www.stdthread.co.uk/halloweencontest/
