Overview of this book

Reactive programming is an effective way to build highly responsive applications with an easy-to-maintain code base. This book covers the essential functional reactive concepts that will help you build highly concurrent, event-driven, and asynchronous applications in a simpler and less error-prone way. C++ Reactive Programming begins with a discussion on how event processing was undertaken by different programming systems earlier. After a brisk introduction to modern C++ (C++17), you’ll be taken through language-level concurrency and the lock-free programming model to set the stage for our foray into the Functional Programming model. Following this, you’ll be introduced to RxCpp and its programming model. You’ll be able to gain deep insights into the RxCpp library, which facilitates reactive programming. You’ll learn how to deal with reactive programming using Qt/C++ (for the desktop) and C++ microservices for the Web. By the end of the book, you will be well versed with advanced reactive programming concepts in modern C++ (C++17).

Atomic operations and types in C++


Generally, a non-atomic operation might be seen as half-done by other threads. As discussed in Chapter 3Language-Level Concurrency and Parallelism in C++, in such cases, the invariance associated with the shared data structure will be broken. This happens when the modification to a shared data structure requires modification of more than one value. The best example of this is a partially removed node of a binary tree. If another thread tries to read from this data structure at the same time, the invariant will be broken and could result in undefined behavior.

Using an atomic operation, you can't observe an operation that's half-done from any thread in the system, because atomic operations are indivisible. If any operation (such as read) associated with an object is atomic, then all of the modifications to the object are also atomic. C++ has provided atomic types so that you can use atomicity as you require.
