Re: [Boost-users] how to wait for a thread until it stopped

Hi Ben,
The boost::thread::join() is only for waiting for a thread to
complete. I don't want to complete the thread when calling stop(). I
just want to put it into the blocked state.

I run into a deadlock when I finish the app. I call the stop() and
then the ~fvAsynchronousSequencer. But usually the thread isn't
stopped when entering the destructor and when the thread stops after I
called notify_one() I'm inside a deadlock.

So, is there a way, that when the stop() returns, the worker thread is blocked?

Thanks,
Christian
