wxThread or c++11 thread? Topic is solved

[wxProgrammer]

Hi! I have to write a software that must be very speed. I'll write this with thread for parallelism. In your opinion is better <thread> (C++11) or <wx/thread.h>? (The programm is for windows and I have to use wx for GUI principally)

From a performance point of view there is no difference. You can use whatever you prefer.

Oh, perfect Thank you

I would stick to wxThread. Since it is a wrapper around other classes (pthread, Win Thread etc)
Using wxThread will make sure that your code will still compile when using an older compiler which does not support C++11 thread.

Also, I would expect that sometime in the future, wxThread will wrap std::thread (similar to wxString using std::{w}string)
