Hi all,

I have a quick question regarding the interruption of Boost threads. I am 
making fairly heavy use of the interrupt method call of the thread class, 
and I am wondering whether I should be catching the 
boost::thread_interrupted exception from within my thread function? I 
currently do not and my program runs fine, but I am wondering whether this 
is defined behavior or whether I should always be catching the exception and 
returning from the function inside the handler?

Kind regards,
