void swap(thread& x) noexcept;
Effects: Swaps the state of *this and x.
bool joinable() const noexcept;
Returns: get_­id() != id().
void join();
Effects: Blocks until the thread represented by *this has completed.
Synchronization: The completion of the thread represented by *this synchronizes with ([intro.multithread]) the corresponding successful join() return.
Note
:
Operations on *this are not synchronized.

 ]
Postconditions: The thread represented by *this has completed.
get_­id() == id().
Throws: system_­error when an exception is required ([thread.req.exception]).
Error conditions:
  • resource_­deadlock_­would_­occur — if deadlock is detected or get_­id() == this_­thread​::​​get_­id().
  • no_­such_­process — if the thread is not valid.
  • invalid_­argument — if the thread is not joinable.
void detach();
Effects: The thread represented by *this continues execution without the calling thread blocking.
When detach() returns, *this no longer represents the possibly continuing thread of execution.
When the thread previously represented by *this ends execution, the implementation releases any owned resources.
Postconditions: get_­id() == id().
Throws: system_­error when an exception is required ([thread.req.exception]).
Error conditions:
  • no_­such_­process — if the thread is not valid.
  • invalid_­argument — if the thread is not joinable.
id get_id() const noexcept;
Returns: A default constructed id object if *this does not represent a thread, otherwise this_­thread​::​get_­id() for the thread of execution represented by *this.
