If I create a thread using boost::thread() library?

boost::thread thrd( &DoWork ) );

How can I kill "thrd" later on?

AFAIK you can't.

I think it's because there was no safe, reasonable, cross-platform interface found for doing so. Also, I expect it wouldn't behave well with destructors and exceptions. That's just a guess, though.

Thanks. But is there a solution for linux? I mean a safe way to kill thread on linux?
