Comment:

 I don't know IIUC the interface, but IMO, a thread that has already
 finished can not be joined. Do you agree with my understanding?

 Preconditions:

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

     If *this refers to a thread of execution, waits for that thread of
 execution to complete.
 Postconditions:

     If *this refers to a thread of execution on entry, that thread of
 execution has completed. *this no longer refers to any thread of
 execution.
 Throws:

     boost::thread_interrupted if the current thread of execution is
 interrupted.
 Notes:

     join() is one of the predefined interruption points.
