# std::experimental::latch

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | experimental

Defined in header `<experimental/latch>` |  |
class latch; |  | (concurrency TS)

The `latch` class is a downward counter of type `ptrdiff_t` which can be used to synchronize threads. The value of the counter is initialized on creation. Threads may block on the latch until the counter is decremented to zero. There is no possibility to increase or reset the counter, which makes the latch a single-use barrier.
