Can the yield function of boost::thread be used to immediately wake up a thread that is sleeping? I would like to use this to make sure that certain threads get the chance to exit before the process terminates, without join resulting in the whole program sleeping.
No. I am currently exploring ideas around waking specific threads on win32 as an implementation detail of various boost::thread primitives, but I am not aware of ways to do this on other platforms, such as those using pthreads.
