    Does C++ supports multithreading?

    Yes, C++ library supports multithreading via _beginthread() and _beginthreadex(). The concept of multithreading is relative to the platform that the program runs under.

    Boost has a cross-platform threading library.
    The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.

    As Salem said, C++ does not directly support threads. There are several libraries to work with threads. For example for Win32:

    There are also ports of Pthreads for other platforms.

    The one complaint I have against Pthreads is that its a C library, and hence does not make use of C++ features (OOP, exceptions). It is probably the most commonly used threading library for C/C++ though.
