A way to destroy “thread” class

Question

Here is a skeleton of my thread class:

class MyThread {
public:
   virutal ~MyThread();

   // will start thread with svc() as thread entry point
   void start()         


        

Answer 1

You should add dedicated thread management class (i.e. MyThreadMngr), that handles this and other tasks, like book keeping, owning the thread handles etc. The Thread itself should somehow signal to the thread manager that its going to terminate and MyThreadMngr should i.e. have a loop like Tom proposed.

There will probably be more actions that suite into such a thread manager class.
