Re: [Boost-users] Creating a thread and blocking its execution

I would like to create a thread from this initialization method, and wait for it to execute until the whole initialization process it done.

I would use a condition variable plus a boolean state (a primitive event) that is passed to the thread-function upon creation (utilizing boost::bind). thread waits for the condition to be signaled. the initialization routine updates the state and notifies the condition upon completion. If you need this pattern frequently, I'd suggest to extract that logic from CSubsystem::TaskWrapper into common class. Best regards, Christoph
