std::jthread::jthread(3)

NAME
std::jthread::jthread - std::jthread::jthread

Synopsis
   jthread() noexcept; (1) (since C++20)
   jthread( jthread&& other ) noexcept; (2) (since C++20)
   template< class Function, class... Args > (3) (since C++20)
   explicit jthread( Function&& f, Args&&... args );
   jthread( const jthread& ) = delete; (4) (since C++20)
   Constructs new jthread object.
   1) Creates new jthread object which does not represent a thread.
   2) Move constructor. Constructs the jthread object to represent the thread of
   execution that was represented by other. After this call other no longer represents
   a thread of execution.
   3) Creates new jthread object and associates it with a thread of execution. The new
   thread of execution starts executing
     * std::invoke(std::move(f_copy), get_stop_token(), std::move(args_copy)...), if
       the expression is valid; otherwise, it starts executing
     * std::invoke(std::move(f_copy), std::move(args_copy)...).
   In either case,
     * f_copy is an object of type std::decay_t<Function> and constructed from
       std::forward<Function>(f), and
     * args_copy... are objects of types std::decay_t<Args>... and constructed from
       std::forward<Args>(args)....
   Constructions of these objects are executed in the context of the caller, so that
   any exceptions thrown during evaluation and copying/moving of the arguments are
   thrown in the current thread, without starting the new thread. The program is
   ill-formed if any construction or the std::invoke call is invalid.
   This constructor does not participate in overload resolution if
   std::remove_cvref_t<Function> is the same type as jthread.
   The completion of the invocation of the constructor synchronizes-with (as defined in
   std::memory_order) the beginning of the invocation of the copy of f on the new
   thread of execution.
   4) The copy constructor is deleted; threads are not copyable. No two std::jthread
   objects may represent the same thread of execution.

Parameters
   other - another jthread object to construct this jthread object with
   f - Callable object to execute in the new thread
   args... - arguments to pass to the new function

Postconditions
   1) get_id() equal to std::jthread::id() (i.e. joinable() returns false) and
   get_stop_source().stop_possible() is false.
   2) other.get_id() equal to std::jthread::id() and get_id() returns the value of
   other.get_id() prior to the start of construction.
   3) get_id() not equal to std::jthread::id() (i.e. joinable() returns true), and
   get_stop_source().stop_possible() is true.

Exceptions
   3) std::system_error if the thread could not be started. The exception may represent
   the error condition std::errc::resource_unavailable_try_again or another
   implementation-specific error condition.

Notes
   The arguments to the thread function are moved or copied by value. If a reference
   argument needs to be passed to the thread function, it has to be wrapped (e.g. with
   std::ref or std::cref).
   Any return value from the function is ignored. If the function throws an exception,
   std::terminate is called. In order to pass return values or exceptions back to the
   calling thread, std::promise or std::async may be used.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <utility>
 #include <thread>
 #include <chrono>
 using namespace std::literals;
 void f1(int n)
 {
     for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
         std::cout << "Thread 1 executing\n";
         ++n;
         std::this_thread::sleep_for(10ms);
     }
 }
 void f2(int& n)
 {
     for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
         std::cout << "Thread 2 executing\n";
         ++n;
         std::this_thread::sleep_for(10ms);
     }
 }
 class foo
 {
 public:
     void bar()
     {
         for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
             std::cout << "Thread 3 executing\n";
             ++n;
             std::this_thread::sleep_for(10ms);
         }
     }
     int n = 0;
 };
 class baz
 {
 public:
     void operator()()
     {
         for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
             std::cout << "Thread 4 executing\n";
             ++n;
             std::this_thread::sleep_for(10ms);
         }
     }
     int n = 0;
 };
 int main()
 {
     int n = 0;
     foo f;
     baz b;
     std::jthread t0; // t0 is not a thread
     std::jthread t1(f1, n + 1); // pass by value
     std::jthread t2a(f2, std::ref(n)); // pass by reference
     std::jthread t2b(std::move(t2a)); // t2b is now running f2(). t2a is no longer a thread
     std::jthread t3(&foo::bar, &f); // t3 runs foo::bar() on object f
     std::jthread t4(b); // t4 runs baz::operator() on a copy of object b
     t1.join();
     t2b.join();
     t3.join();
     std::cout << "Final value of n is " << n << '\n';
     std::cout << "Final value of f.n (foo::n) is " << f.n << '\n';
     std::cout << "Final value of b.n (baz::n) is " << b.n << '\n';
     // t4 joins on destruction
 }

Possible output:
 Thread 2 executing
 Thread 1 executing
 Thread 4 executing
 Thread 3 executing
 Thread 3 executing
 Thread 4 executing
 Thread 2 executing
 Thread 1 executing
 Thread 3 executing
 Thread 1 executing

 Final value of n is 5
 Final value of f.n (foo::n) is 5
 Final value of b.n (bar::n) is 0
