after updating from 1.51.0 to 1.52.0 call to a thread::join() throws "invalid_argument" / not joinable. I see that there is a change with regards to thread d-tor in this version but I don't really understand if and why this is related.

Should joinable() be called now before every join()?

Yes, you should check that the thread is joinable or ensure that BOOST_THREAD_TRROW_IF_PRECONDITION_NOT_SATISFIED is not defined. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#...

Hi, join() requires that the threads is joinable, as there is only one thread owner the owner is able to know if the thread has been joined or not. See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#... Member function |join()| http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#... void join(); Preconditions: the thread is joinable. Note that this requirement was already since 1.45, but the implementation didn't throw. Member function |join()| http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#... void join(); Preconditions: |this->get_id()!=boost::this_thread::get_id()| This conforms with the C++11 standard. You can disable this by commenting this line in the Jamfile <define>BOOST_THREAD_THROW_IF_PRECONDITION_NOT_SATISFIED The idea was to not commit this line and let the user to define this macro. Sorry for the disturbance. Best, Vicente
