33.4 Threads [thread.threads]

33.4.4 Class jthread [thread.jthread.class]

33.4.4.1 General [thread.jthread.class.general]

The class jthread provides a mechanism to create a new thread of execution.
The functionality is the same as for class thread ([thread.thread.class]) with the additional abilities to provide a stop_token ([thread.stoptoken]) to the new thread of execution, make stop requests, and automatically join.
