 // Based on the Anthony's idea of thread_guard in CCiA

 namespace boost
 {

   class thread_guard
   {
     thread& t;
   public:
     BOOST_THREAD_NO_COPYABLE( thread_guard )

     explicit thread_guard(thread& t_) :
       t(t_)
     {
     }
     ~thread_guard()
     {
 #if defined BOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_INTERRUPTIONS
       t.interrupt();
 #endif
       if (t.joinable())
       {
         t.join();
       }
     }
   };
