Abstract

We propose a programming language known as ConC++ which is extended of C++ to support multithread and concurrent programming using concurrent classes and protected classes. A concurrent class has an active function, which executes immediately when an object is instantiated. A protected class encapsulates a group of data and operations on them and it is used to implement synchronization and mutual-exclusion among objects of concurrent classes, with centralized object concurrency control. The approach achieves object autonomy, decreases context switches and deadlocks and improves program performance
