Re: [Boost-users] at_thread_exit() never getting called

You can't use an at_thread_exit hook registered from within a thread to shut down this same thread; this is circular. If you want to shut down a thread when exit() is called or when main returns, use atexit, or a destructor of a static variable. I don't see how at_thread_exit could help in this case, although of course I may be misunderstanding something.

Part of the problem is that neither atexit() or at_thread_exit() explicitly specify which thread the hook function will get invoked on...
