Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #15: thread class needs join() with timeout https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/15 <pre class="wiki">I think Boost's thread class could be well served if there was a member function thread::join(double timeout) in addition to the join() that blocks forever. Most other thread classes I have used have implemented this very useful feature. In many respects it is not that different from the try_lock idiom Boost already employs for its mutexes. </pre> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/15 Trac 1.4.3 bill_kempf Sun, 06 Jan 2002 17:54:39 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/15#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/15#comment:1</guid> <description> <pre class="wiki">Logged In: YES user_id=180283 This was considered during design and was rejected.
