This is the way I create new thread
void TCPConnection::MyFunction() { .... boost::thread *th=new boost::thread(boost::bind(&TCPConnection::ExecutionRoutine,shared_from_this(),Command)); ... }
when the ExecutionRoutine() finishes its execution, naturally the destructor of the TCPConnection class has to be called. But it never gets called! But if call a join from someware else (th->join()) the destructor of the TCPConnection class gets called and the connection is terminated, otherwise the it continues in the connected state!!
What could be the mistake I am doing?
If not mistaken that's the normal behavior which requires parent thread to join() its child threads, for proper release of thread resources, and I don't think it is specific to Boost.Thread. I might be wrong though.
Thanks, Lloyd
What kind of waist? I guess the name of the function mislead you. join() in this context means "wait" - nothing more. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
