Hello,

I have a question about Boost.Thread. I am trying to create a class which upon instantiation creates a thread based upon itself, and then on destruction, stops the thread and cleans up after itself. A simple example is below. Is this possible, and if not, what alternatives do I have?

It should be possible the way you've outlined it except for the fact that you try to initialize a pointer with an unrelated type and also never initialize the background thread. Are there specific problems that you are having?
