title: C++ threading in linux
body: <p>I'm trying to create a multi-threaded c++ program in Linux. I've used the pthreads library before on windows, but I've heard it's not standard with Linux. What threading library would you advise for c++ with Linux? What options are there, what's the most common, and what's usually the fastest? Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>edit: I was mistaken about pthreads not being native to linux, as I said, it was something I heard awhile ago. I was mainly looking for a comparison between the efficiencies of the various threading options, and was especially curious about info on how the c-11 threading library performed vs the pthreads I've used before. I was misinformed, and I posted this question to get more informed. There's no need to be nasty. </p>
