What Is A Data Race In Multi-threading C++ Apps And How To Avoid It

Data races occur when multiple tasks or threads access a shared resource without sufficient protection, leading to undefined or unpredictable behavior on runtime. You can imagine two or more task threads in cores trying to reach the same data in a race. In this post, we explain…
