hi,
one of my project uses exit() to terminate the program. this is sometimes called while some threads are waiting on a global condition_variable_any.
when calling exit(), this global variable is destroyed while other threads are still waiting on it, which causes BOOST_VERIFY to fire an assertion failure !pthread_cond_destroy(&cond). this scares the hell out of my users.
i know that these verifications can be really useful in many case, but in my use case, it makes exit() rather unusable, and i'd have to redesign some of the internal logic to avoid this assertion failure.
thoughts?
Which alternative behavior would you expect? I don't know what the standard says about this, but I suspect that you should add a exit handle to join all your threads.
Best, Vicente
