[Boost-users] Conditional thread join

23 Nov 2010

      Hello.

I have following small program (pseudocode):

void Read()
{
    do
    {
        // ...
    } while (...);
}  // Read()

void Write()
{
    do
    {
        // ...
    } while (...);
}  // Write()

boost::thread thrd1(Read);
boost::thread thrd2(Write);

// I don't want the following
thrd1.join();
thrd2.join();

No, I want to stop when either thread finishes
something like a join_any(). Does that exist?

greetings
Chris

	} while (...);
}  // Write()

boost::thread thrd1(Read);
boost::thread thrd2(Write);

// I don't want the following
thrd1.join();
thrd2.join();

No, I want to stop when either thread finishes
something like a conditional join. Does that exist?

greetings
Chris
