[Boost-users] Automatic thread join

Hi, Is there a way to join a thread automatically to the main thread when it finishes execution? In my case, the main thread does not call the "thread->join()", so even if the work of the thread is over, the thread never joins to the main thread. What is the technique usually used to make a thread join to its main thread, so as to avoid wastage of resources. Thanks, Lloyd ___________________ Happy New Year 2010
