Thread libraries are platform dependent (*), for instance on Windows you typically use CreateThread function[^] while on Linux you would use POSIX threads' pthread_create function[^].


If you need portability then have a look at Boost.Threads[^].

Pretty much covers it, most frameworks have their own thread implementation (obviously, cross-platform frameworks simply implement the different system APIs since it's not part of standard C++), +5

I think in Windows using _beginthreadex is better option. Please refer this.

There are lots off "cross platform" " C++" libraries, but boost is the best one.
It is free and since you decided to using threads, you would also need thread synchronization, boost will help you for the same.

This is how it should be implemented by the standard: C++11 FAQ. Threads.[^].
And it is already available in VC11, according to Microsoft Connect[^]
