Tech Sujhav : Call overloaded operator from thread

Yes it is possible to call overloaded operator with thread. Here are some of the commonly used methods.

Let check with example where we shall try to compare two objects (sObj & newSuggest) of Suggest class.

#include<iostream>

#include <thread>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

class Suggest
{
   string m_value;
public:
   Suggest()
   {
       cout<<"Constructor(default) :: Called"<<endl;
       m_value="Default Suggestion Given";
   }
   Suggest(string str)
   {
       cout<<"Constructor(string) :: Called"<<endl;
       m_value=str;
   }
   //Overload == operator
   bool operator==(const Suggest& obj)const
   {
       if(this ->m_value == obj.m_value)
       {
           cout<<"SAME OBJECTS"<<endl;
           return true;
       }
       cout<<"DIFFERENT OBJECT"<<endl;
       return false;
   }
   void display()
   {
       cout<<"Suggestion:: "<<m_value<<endl;
   }
};
int main()
{

   Suggest sObj("TechSujhav");
   sObj.display();

   //Call Overloaded operator== from thread
   cout<<"\nCall Overloaded operator== from thread"<<endl;

   Suggest newSuggest;
   newSuggest.display();

   std::thread objThrd2 ((&Suggest::operator==),sObj,newSuggest);
   objThrd2.join();

   cout<<"\nCall Overloaded operator== using lambda from thread"       <<endl;

   //Call Overloaded operator== using lambda from thread
   //passing argument in Capture list
   std::thread objThrd3 ([sObj,newSuggest](){
       if(sObj == newSuggest)
               cout<<"Perform Activity-1"<<endl;
       else
               cout<<"Perform Activity-2" <<endl;
       });

   objThrd3.join();
   return 0;
}

Command: g++ equalToOperator.cpp -o equalToOperator -lpthread

Output: ./equalToOperator

Constructor(string) :: Called

Suggestion:: TechSujhav

Call Overloaded operator== from thread
Constructor(default) :: Called
Suggestion:: Default Suggestion Given

DIFFERENT OBJECT

Call Overloaded operator== using lambda from thread
DIFFERENT OBJECT
Perform Activity-2
