The reason why I send this question it's because I'm using boost threads and they don't have any mechanism to stop a thread. So I think that is reasonable to ask boost community how they use to resolve this issue. Thanks again, Rui Gil On 10/27/07, Giovanni Piero Deretta <gpderetta@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello,
Can any one tell me how can I unblock a thread that is block in a socket? I'm using the select/pselect function to detect activity in a group of sockets, and when I'm try to stop the thread she can be lock in the select function.
Add an unnamed pipe end to the select fd set and write to the other end when you want the select call to terminate.
But I do not see how this is Boost related.
