How to implement parallel text input and output?

Question

C++ / C#

I'm doing a chat. In the following code, the message of the interlocutor is displayed only after I have entered text into the lines

while(true) {
 string s; //мое сообщение
 cin >> s; //или getline(cin, s)
 cout << /* текст сообщения собеседника */;
}

How can I make other people's messages appear coutin the console at the same time as cinmy message is entered? In which direction of multithreading is it worth digging?

Answer 1

How can I make other people's messages cout to the console at the same time as cin my message?

1. Make 2 threads.
2. Use byte-by-byte input and output (cyclic polling).
PS Only cin/cout for "chat"... ? somehow funny ... a good anecdote, plus.

Answer 2

look towards epoll
