I was just curious as to why the class destructor are (apparently) being called multiple times. I have tried searching the archives to no avail (which prompted me to register and post to the mailinglist).

Try defining an explicit copy constructor with a message like the others. I believe the issue is that your object is being passed by value, and being copied a few times along the way. You're not seeing your no-args constructor message because the other new instances are invoking the copy constructor.

One way to avoid it might be using:

void testBoostThread() { boost::thread thrd (boost::ref(testclass)); // pass testclass by reference thrd.join(); }

Thanks, I just tried this and now it gives me saner destruction sequences :)
