Re: [Boost-users] How to detect thread kill?

Thank you Chris. I have an application that starts many threads to process input files. The application runs on Linux and sometimes threads get killed. This leads to segmentation faults and termination without memory clean-up, etc. So, I thought of the way to at least catch such cases and cleanly quit the application. Samvel.

There is a number of standard ways to interrupt thread from within an application with library tools.

Not in a portable fashion.

However, is there a way to detect if one of the running threads was killed with system tools and thread is not available any more?

I'm not aware of any consistent way of killing a thread with system tools.

Since there is no portable way to do what you're asking, I can't imagine that there's a portable way to detect the effect, either. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
