[Boost-users] [Boost.Threads] Exiting Thread Properly

Hi, I'm new to Boost.Threads and have previously been using Windows events to signal threads to shut down. Since the Boost.Threads library does not include an Event type I'm wondering what the best approach is to signal a thread to exit. Let's say the thread is a worker thread which loops around every time it has finished its job and then wants to determine if it should shut down or not. Thanks, Soren
