<p>An object of class barrier is a synchronization primitive that can be placed in shared memory used to cause a set of threads from different processes to wait until they each perform a certain function or each reach a particular point in their execution. </p>

<p>Constructs a barrier object that will cause count threads to block on a call to wait(). </p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<pre class="literallayout"><a name="id821044-bb"></a>~barrier();</pre>
<p>Destroys *this. If threads are still executing their wait() operations, the behavior for these threads is undefined. </p>

<p>Effects: Wait until N threads call wait(), where N equals the count provided to the constructor for the barrier object. Note that if the barrier is destroyed before wait() can return, the behavior is undefined. Returns: Exactly one of the N threads will receive a return value of true, the others will receive a value of false. Precisely which thread receives the return value of true will be implementation-defined. Applications can use this value to designate one thread as a leader that will take a certain action, and the other threads emerging from the barrier can wait for that action to take place. </p>
