RE: [Boost-users] Threading problem

There's nothing wrong with your runnable class, but with your use of
thread::join().  Boost::threads start as soon as they are constructed,
join() means: wait until they are finished.

In your test code, it doesn't make sense to join() your threads before you
Stop() them.  Probably the next is what you meant:

        Threading::boost_thread_starter starter3((Threading::Runnable
*)&writer2);
        boost::thread* _writer_thread2 = new boost::thread(starter3);

        // pause for  5 secs
        boost::xtime xt;
    boost::xtime_get(&xt, boost::TIME_UTC);
    xt.sec += 5;
    boost::thread::sleep(xt); 

        writer2.Stop();

        _writer_thread2->join();

Cya, Geert.
