How do I share new data between old threads?

Hm. That is a very ambiguous question. Essentially, all shared variables are accessible from all threads. So, as soon as you assign a new value to an existing shared variable, it (the new value), becomes available to all other threads the next time they get a timeslice.

Of course, that then raises the questions:

1. How do the other threads know there is a new value is available in an existing shared var?
2. How does the particular thread (or set of threads) know that the new value is intended for them?

One way to notify threads of the availability of new values is to use the cond_* functions in threads::shared, but that is often the hardest and most error prone way of doing things. There are all sort of caveats to do with missed signals, deadlocks etc. Thread::Queue is usually far easier to both use, and to reason about.

To be able to give you a good answer to the problem underlying your question, we would need to know a little more about that problem. I can sit here and try t dream up scenarios for what you are trying to achieve, and come op with half a dozen that would all completely miss the mark. In other words, please post a little code demonstrating the problem you are trying to tackle, then we stand a better than even chance of offering you an appropriate solution.
