How to do it...

We are going to implement a simple producer/consumer program which runs a single producer of values in its own thread, as well as a single consumer thread in another thread:

1. First, we need to perform all the needed includes:

      #include <iostream>      #include <queue>      #include <tuple>      #include <condition_variable>      #include <thread>            using namespace std;      using namespace chrono_literals;

2. We instantiate a queue of simple numeric values and call it q. The producer will push values into it, and the consumer will take values out of it. In order to synchronize both, we need a mutex. In addition to that, we instantiate a condition_variable cv. The variable finished will be the producer's way to tell the consumer that no more values ...
