Re: [boost] Boost.Threads, N2178, N2184, et al

In implementation terms:

class thread { pthread_t handle_; bool detached_;

public:

thread(): detached_( false ) {}

void detach() { atomic_store( &detached_, true ); }

// (try-/timed-) 'const' joins

~thread() { if( !detached_ ) cancel(); pthread_detach( handle_ ); } };

Is this not a conforming N2184 thread? If not, why?

As I understand it: No, because t.joinable() would still be true, and you could still cancel and join the thread.
