Defined in header <condition_variable>
class condition_variable;		(since C++11)

The condition_variable class manages a list of threads that are waiting until another thread notifies one or all of the waiting threads that they may proceed, until a timeout expires, or until a spurious wakeup occurs. Any thread that intends to wait on std::condition_variable has to acquire a std::unique_lock first. The wait operation atomically releases the mutex and suspends the execution of the thread. When the thread is awakened, the mutex is reacquired.

The class std::condition_variable is a standard-layout class. It is not copy-constructible, move-constructible, copy-assignable, or move-assignable.

Member types

Member type	Definition
native_handle_type	implementation-defined

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs the object (public member function)
(destructor)	destructs the object (public member function)
operator= [deleted]	not copy-assignable (public member function)
Notification
notify_one	notifies one waiting thread (public member function)
notify_all	notifies all waiting threads (public member function)
Waiting
wait	blocks the current thread until the condition variable is woken up (public member function)
wait_for	blocks the current thread until the condition variable is woken up or after the specified timeout duration (public member function)
wait_until	blocks the current thread until the condition variable is woken up or until specified time point has been reached (public member function)
Native handle
native_handle	returns the native handle (public member function)
