Just a small addition. Instead of sleep, you can use a condition variable and wait on it with timeout. So the if condition would be smth like: if(!timed_wait(cond, timeout)) t1.interrupt(); On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 3:30 PM, Ovanes Markarian <om_boost@keywallet.com>wrote:

... thread t1(readthread); boost::this_thread::sleep(timeout);
if(/*not signaled successful read*/) t1.interrupt();
