Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the boost multithreading library. I am having a problem as the join() function for the thread never returns. I am using a boolean variable to indicate when the thread should stop running. Here is basically a stub of what I am doing:

//........................................ bool m_RunThread = false;

It's because m_RunThread isn't volatile. -- Frank
