Re: [Boost-users] [thread] boost::thread automatically detached when thread terminates?

Thanks for your reply! Do you know whether the thread of execution is allowed to call boost::thread::detach()? Then it could detach itself from the boost::thread object before it terminates and boost::thread::joinable() should work? I'm not sure though if boost::thread is thread-safe?

What are you trying to accomplish? If you don't care when a thread terminates, call detach right after you create it: main thread: boost::thread t (...); t.detach ();
