Re: mulithreading, dual-core

For a command line C++ tool, you'll want to use pthreads, as someone
else explained. The basic operation of pthreads is pretty simple and
like most other similar implementations. There are a few very
important points to know:
You may also want to check out the boost library. It offers a cross platform set thread classes that I think are modeled around pthreads. It is also free. :-)

While I'm definitey a fan of boost, adding the threads abstraction over an straightforward (pthreads) API comes with quite some footprint if there's just multiple instances of one routine running multithreaded (Read: just the requirement of a single lock for one object).

- In shared development, colleagues already used to pthreads (low level) have to read up the (high level) boost::threads documentation

- boost itself has quite some footprint to put into that projects SCM. Striping boost into only the project relevant pieces is usually not simply "OK, I just need boost::threads and boost::shared_ptr, so I can get rid of all other directories"

YMMV, but it's a decision that should be carefully evaluated.
