Enjoy my training video on the C++ barrier...
The std::barrier class is a synchronization primitive introduced in C++20. It allows a set of threads to synchronize at a certain point in their execution. It is similar to the std::latch class, but it can be reused multiple times.
A std::barrier object is initialized with a count, which specifies the number of threads that must reach the barrier before any of them can proceed. When a thread reaches the barrier, it calls the wait() method. If the count is not yet zero, the thread will be blocked until the count reaches zero. Once the count reaches zero, all of the threads that are waiting on the barrier will be released and can proceed.
The std::barrier class can be used to implement a variety of synchronization patterns, such as producer-consumer queues, parallel algorithms, and race condition prevention.
Here's my application in which I used barrier to showcase how it can be used.
