[Boost-users] When to use thread.join()

My apologies if this has been covered.  I am new to boost and have been
working with the boost thread class.  I assume that the join() function
waits for the thread to finish execution.  But what if the thread has
already finished executing?  Can I still call join() and have it not
wait for infinity?
