Hi,

after updating from 1.51.0 to 1.52.0 call to a thread::join() throws "invalid_argument" / not joinable. I see that there is a change with regards to thread d-tor in this version but I don't really understand if and why this is related.

Should joinable() be called now before every join()?

Hi,

join() requires that the threads is joinable, as there is only one thread owner the owner is able to know if the thread has been joined or not.

See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.join

Member function join() 

void join();
Preconditions:

the thread is joinable.


Note that this requirement was already since 1.45, but the implementation didn't throw.

Member function join() 

void join();
Preconditions:

this->get_id()!=boost::this_thread::get_id()


This conforms with the C++11 standard.

You can disable this by commenting this line in the Jamfile

      <define>BOOST_THREAD_THROW_IF_PRECONDITION_NOT_SATISFIED

The idea was to not commit this line and let the user to define this macro.

Sorry for the disturbance.

Best,
Vicente
