C++11 threading on Windows

Question

Is there anyway to use std::thread with C++11 standard library in windows when compiling with g++ 4.5.2 in MinGW?

I\'m going assume no as I\'ve seen man

Answer 1

There is already a lightweight native implementation of std::thread and sync primitives: https://github.com/meganz/mingw-std-threads

IT is a header-only library and should work with any C++11 compliant version of MinGW. You just need to include the headers in your code.
