I wrote this as a simplified version of a multithreading example to get a feel for it, but am running into some issues when compiling. My compiler says that thread is not a member of std and prompts me to add #include <thread> to my code even though I have already done so. I've been unable to find any similar problems so far, but I suspect that it is an issue with how I'm compiling it because my code is very similar to the example code.
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
void doWork () {
std::cout << "Working...\n";
}
int main () {
std::thread worker(doWork);
work.join();
std::cout << "Finished\n";
return 0;
}
My compiler is MinGW g++ 9.2.0
I compiled with g++ main.cpp -o main and it gave me these errors:
main.cpp: In function 'int main()':
main.cpp:9:7: error: 'thread' is not a member of 'std'
9 | std::thread worker(doWork);
| ^~~~~~
main.cpp:3:1: note: 'std::thread' is defined in header '<thread>'; did you forget to '#include <thread>'?
2 | #include <thread>
+++ |+#include <thread>
3 |
main.cpp:11:2: error: 'work' was not declared in this scope
11 | work.join();
| ^~~~
