The upcoming C++ standard (C++0x) will support multithreading and concurrency both as an inherent part of the memory model, and as part of the C++ Standard Library. ”Multithreading and Concurrency” (Anthony Williams):

• Multithreading in C++0x Part 1: Starting Threads
• Multithreading in C++0x Part 2: Starting Threads with Function Objects and Arguments
• Multithreading in C++0x Part 3: Starting Threads with Member Functions and Reference Arguments
• Multithreading in C++0x Part 4: Protecting Shared Data
• Multithreading in C++0x Part 5: Flexible locking with std::unique_lock<>
• Multithreading in C++0x part 6: Lazy initialization and double-checked locking with atomics
• Multithreading in C++0x part 7: Locking multiple mutexes without deadlock
• Multithreading in C++0x part 8: Futures, Promises and Asynchronous Function Calls

Also Herb Sutter is a leading authority on software development. He is the best selling author of several books including Exceptional C++ and C++ Coding Standards, as well as hundreds of technical papers and articles, including “The Free Lunch Is Over” which coined the term “concurrency revolution.”

Iterators Must Go (Google Docs)

Qt Assistant: Indicates that the widget contents are north-west aligned and static. On resize, such a widget will receive paint events only for parts of itself that are newly visible. This flag is set or cleared by the widget’s author. (Link)

But also it prevents to avoid flicking during resizing.

The demo demonstrates the effect of setting the Qt::WA_StaticContents attribute on any widget in Qt 4.5
