[Boost-users] proper way to wait for threads ends

Hello

I m writting a program which create threads following commands received 
on a socket connection.
When exiting, I'd like to wait that all dynamically created threads have 
ended their jobs.
I thought about using a shared variable (with mutual exclusion) that 
threads would increment at start and decrement at end.
And then the program would stop, loop on sleep() while this shared 
variable is still > 0.

Is there a better way to wait for the end of threads ?
