Comment (by adishavit@…):

 Effective Modern C++, item 35: "Your life will be easier if you dump these
 problems on somebody else, and using std::async does exactly that:

 auto fut = std::async(doAsyncWork);   // onus of thread mgmt is // on
 implementer of // the Standard Library

 This call shifts the thread management responsibility to the implementer
 of the C++ Standard Library...When it comes to load balancing, however,
 the runtime scheduler is likely to have a more comprehensive picture of
 what’s happening on the machine than you do, because it manages the
 threads from all processes, not just the one your code is running in.
