Hi!<div>what about locking a mutex and wait on this mutex from the thread. This is also what you call artificial deadlock, but anyway. Another possiblity to wait on an event which never occurs. E.g.</div><div><br></div><div>
lock the mutex from the thread and use a condition variable which is never signaled. I am just curios: why do you need such a thread at all?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Ovanes</div><div><br>

Is there an elegant way to make the current thread go to sleep forever? I simply want the current thread to sleep indefinitely, i.e. until a call to exit() or similar. Obviously I could call sleep() in a loop, or I could create an artificial deadlock, but I was wondering if there is a more elegant way?<div>
