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

Dear Rune, Thanks for the trick. However, this solution may lead to some sort of extra delay, b/c manager of the threads has to wait for certain time before it can make assumption that thread was killed. I am looking for the "catch-kill" solution. Regards On Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 3:32 PM, Rune Lund Olesen wrote:

You could make a structure on the heap to track which threads you kill yourself and which you think is alive - i imagine. Each thread should then update said structure when done (in a threadsafe way needless to say). If a thread then is gone and your tracker thinks its alive you can conclude something else killed it -almost in a portable way i guess.

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
