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
