9632,public method start_thread in boost::thread class,dinazil@…,viboes,"There's a public method start_thread in the thread class. I couldn't find in the documentation what this method does.

In my code I accidentally called this method and it resulted in my callback being started twice.

Since calling the constructor implicitly starts the thread, I don't understand why such method should exist.
I think that in one of the earlier versions of boost this was a private method. Is it possible that this method became public by mistake?",Bugs,closed,Boost 1.56.0,thread,Boost 1.53.0,Problem,fixed,,
