I don't want to use C++11 std::thread because of exceptions. Is it possible to use C11's threads from C++ (for some version)?

Sounds like a XY problem. If you disable Exception you wont get any. Also why do you explicitly want no exceptions? – Raildex Feb 23 '22 at 12:50

Could you be more specific than "because of exceptions"? What's your issue with them in this context? – molbdnilo Feb 23 '22 at 12:55
The code base I'm working with has exceptions disabled, so I can't check if the thread creation has failed – tuket Feb 23 '22 at 12:57
@nielsen Thanks for the link! According to that, I should be able to use C11's thread library from C++11. But I'm not sure if I can trust that answer since it doesn't provide any source I can verify. Besides, I know C++11 was supported in MSVC17 but C11 wasn't supported until MSVC2019. – tuket Feb 23 '22 at 13:05
