Joining a thread in a method that takes `&mut self` (like drop) results in “cannot move out of borrowed content”

Question

I want to create a thread inside of the new method and stop it after the struct is destroyed:

use std::thread;

struct Foo {
    handle: thread:         


        

Answer 1

The problem in join signature:

fn join(self) -> Result

so to fix your code, you need something like:

pub fn stop(self) {
    self.handle.join();
}
