   threads   
   mutexes   
   locks   
   condition variables   
   once functions   
   thread-local objects   
   futures   
   atomic variables

   pthreads will work as well as it has in the past. The C++ memory model   
   is a set of requirements on interactions between memory accesses and   
   calls to functions in the Standard C++ library. It does not impose   
   requirements on interactions with other libraries, except, of course,   
   to the extent that those libraries are based on calls to functions in   
   the Standard C++ library.
