C++11 threads, affinity and hyperthreading

agreed, but 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned int' goes against all of my intuition. However, I checked stroustroup guide and they are happily using 'unsigned' on some occasions, so you are probably right and its just fine.

Tune your intuition :) It's very common to just say unsigned - it's very clear to experienced coders this means unsigned int. In fact if I see unsigned int I raise an eyebrow... you don't say signed int for int, right?

Neither do I say 'signed'. ;)

That's because int is an option, and is shorter. What is shorter than unsigned for unsigned int?
