Conditional Variables are a synchronization primitive in C++ that allows threads to wait for a certain condition to be met[^cppref]. This is useful when you want to coordinate the execution of multiple threads. To use a conditional variable, you will need:
- A conditional variable
std::contional_variable cv
- A mutex
std::mutex mtx
and a lockstd::unique_lock<std::mutex> lck(mtx)
- Appropriate wait conditions to check for
- Appropriate notification calls from other threads
