 Reading from a `join` or `multitype_join` object resembles calling the Windows API function `WaitForMultipleObjects` when it has the `bWaitAll` parameter set to `TRUE`. However, just like a `choice` object, `join` and `multitype_join` objects use an event mechanism that binds data to the event itself instead of to an external synchronization object.
 
-Reading from a `join` object produces a std::[vector](../../standard-library/vector-class.md) object. Reading from a `multitype_join` object produces a std::[tuple](../../standard-library/tuple-class.md) object. Elements appear in these objects in the same order as their corresponding source buffers are linked to the `join` or `multitype_join` object. Because the order in which you link source buffers to a `join` or `multitype_join` object is associated with the order of elements in the resulting `vector` or `tuple` object, we recommend that you do not unlink an existing source buffer from a join. Doing so can result in unspecified behavior.

 The runtime uses the [concurrency::ScheduleGroup](../../parallel/concrt/reference/schedulegroup-class.md) class to represent schedule groups. To create a `ScheduleGroup` object, call the [concurrency::CurrentScheduler::CreateScheduleGroup](reference/currentscheduler-class.md#createschedulegroup) or [concurrency::Scheduler::CreateScheduleGroup](reference/scheduler-class.md#createschedulegroup) method. The runtime uses a reference-counting mechanism to control the lifetime of `ScheduleGroup` objects, just as it does with `Scheduler` objects. When you create a `ScheduleGroup` object, the runtime sets the reference counter to one. The [concurrency::ScheduleGroup::Reference](reference/schedulegroup-class.md#reference) method increments the reference counter by one. The [concurrency::ScheduleGroup::Release](reference/schedulegroup-class.md#release) method decrements the reference counter by one.
