[thread] Is interrupting a non boost.thread possible?
Hello I've a question about boost.threads: Is it possible to interrupt a thread for which I don't have a thread-object but which is using boost synchronization primitives (mutex, condition)? Thanks! Christoph

No. You need a boost::thread object to call interrupt and set the interruption flag.
