One more thing we should note here is that even in this simple code we're sharing a common resource: std::cout. In our case, because the time it takes to create a new thread, the main thread is most likely to finish ahead of our child thread. This is one of the characteristics of multithreaded programming: we cannot be sure which thread runs first (not deterministic unless we use synchronization mechanism). Note that the detached thread didn't have a change to print its output to stdout because the main thread already finished and exited. The detached child thread is now free, and runs on its own.
#Create pthread c free#
We can make a new thread to run free to become a daemon process. The dotted line indicates a possible blocked state.

While the worker thread is starting via constructor std::thread t, there might be overhead of creating a thread (this overhead can be reduced by using thread pool). Probably, it may look more like the next picture. However, in the real world, things are not that ideal and more likely to be asymmetric.
