Hi, I'm having an assertion failed when trying to finish my application. I use Boost.Thread to create one thread and use serialization and spirit that I know use threads either. It wasnt happening when using an earlier boost cvs version... And for some reason I'm not being able to debug it, when trying to the app finishes when reaching the MSVC.
I'm using MSVC 7.1 and the assertion is:
File: boost-path\libs\thread\build\..\src\tss_hooks.cpp Line: 131
Expression: attached_thread_count == 0
This application uses different threads to create and destroy objects throughout its lifetime(probably even the static/singleton objects).
It is an COM object and is accessed through "RPC", where the creation of the singletons takes place...
Felipe, You will get this assertion whenever you use any Windows services that maintain a thread pool. COM/RPC is one of the examples. The problem is the threads from these pools are still around when main returns. I have not found out a way to control these threads. What I have done is to call on_thread_exit at the end of all my thread routines. In a way, this has rendenered automatic thread local storage cleanup on Windows useless(remember all those heated discussion about static boost::thread libraries?). HTH, Sean
