I want to determine if a given thread is still running or has already completed. I thought the joinable() method would provide this information, but unfortunately it seems that a thread does not automatically become Not-A-Thread after completion.
That is true.
So what should I do instead if I want to know if a thread is still running?
Set a flag at the end of the thread function. Then, in other code, you can check the flag. If the flag is set then the thread is done.
