latches

Latches and barriers are coordination types that enable some threads to wait until a counter becomes zero. You can use a std::latch only once, but you can use a std::barrier more than once. Today, I have a closer look at latches.

Latches and barriers are simple to thread synchronisation mechanism which enables it that some threads wait until a counter becomes zero. We will presumably in C++20 get latches and barriers in three variations: std::latch, std::barrier, and std::flex_barrier.
